These carrots are really good. I used apricot freezer jam which cut back on sweetness served with ham steaks - Thanks again Dorothy

Dorothy these are "To Die For" they are so delicious. I made them for Thanksgiving and they were a hit with everyone. The apricot really brings out the sweetness in the carrots. I'm submitting a photo in gratitude, thanks again dorothy for sharing such a terrific recipe!

Wow-these were great! The flavour combination worked really well. The apricot jam adds to their sweetness and they look wonderful with the glaze. I served with with roast turkey, green beans, and mashed potatoes. They would go well with any meat or poultry dish. Thanks Derf for a wonderful easy recipe.
