I've been looking for recipes to use my recipe swap maple syrup. It's grade A dark amber from Wisconsin, and I don't have a clue if that makes a difference to the recipe, but we all thought it was fantastic. It's hard to make carrots fantastic, but they were tonight. Thanks once again Dancer!

Nice combination of flavors, and a beautiful side dish! Served it for Christmas dinner alongside green beans with bacon/onions, baked vegetable stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry/orange/ginger sauce, and turkey cooked on the rotisserie. I used petite baby carrots (not sliced) and did not add the salt. Since my other dishes were ready before the carrots, I had to finish them in the microwave. No problem--they were delicious with dinner as as leftovers. Thanks Dancer for another great recipe.

I really liked these carrots, but unfortunately my kids did not. I enjoyed the maple syrup over the brown sugar that I have tried in the past. To me it was a lighter sweetness. Thanks for posting.

This is a recipe made for kids. It's very sweet. Too sweet for us. I tried to calm it down, by adding an extra pat of butter, but it was still too sweet. They had a great flavor, but just too much of it.
