Apple and Honey Glazed Baby Carrots

Submitted by 2Bleu

"A great simple side dish that's good any time of year. The liquid is cooked down to a flavorful glaze that tastes great on pork chops or ham. endless possibilities! The carrots should be partially steamed or 'cooked' so they are tender but still firm."

Great side dish. I halved the recipe for 2 of us, but wish I had made more. The liquid took a little longer for me to get to the glaze consistency but was quite yummy when it was finished. I would think that adding a little bit of fresh mint would be good with these too. Thanks 2Bleu for a nice and easy side dish.

Great side dish! A little sweet and a little tang! I did half of the sauce with only 20 carrots and cooked it down. We love cooked carrots and this was no exception! Thanks, 2Bleu!

This was just ok. I would have definitely used more than 20 carrots, as there was a lot of liquid. I thought it was a little sweet.
