Awesome recipe! I used Splenda instead of regular sugar and added a several dashes of cinnamon plus a dash of nutmeg. I felt it needed just a sprinkling of salt too. I roughly mashed them for a bit more texture. We certainly will enjoy them again! Thanks!

They were pretty good. I had to modify the recipe to use what I had at home so I used splenda instead of sugar, and apple juice instead of orange juice. It's probably better with the orange juice, so I will try that next time.

Delicious! What an interesting and tasty way to do carrots! I mashed roughly so they still looked like carrots - hubby might not have eaten it if he thought there was a remote chance it might be squash - lol!! All the flavours mingled perfectly.

We really enjoyed this dish! Made for Freezer Tag March 2008. Carrots aren't the family favorite, however everyone ate this dish without complaint. I froze two leftover servings in individual plastic servers (Gladware). When I knew there were only going to be two for dinner, I thawed them in the fridge overnight and heated in the microwave at dinner time. The only difference between just made and frozen was after being frozen, the carrots were a little drier. I simply added another teaspoon of orange juice to each serving, stirred them up and heated for another few seconds in the microwave until heated through. I will definately be making this dish again! Thanks ladypit!
