Grape Glazed Carrots

Submitted by GeeWhiz

"From the Concord Grape Association. *I have made this recipe since posting it - It's very good, sweet with a nice lemon punch - my kids and dh liked them. Depending on what size you cut your carrots I think the 10 minutes cooking time with the glaze is plenty (go ahead & skip the cooking in salted water or just lightly blanch them; mine came out too mushy when I boiled them AND cooked w/the glaze for 10m); also there is enough glaze for 4-5 cups of carrots (I used regular carrots)."
