I doubled the recipe but I couldn't get a true glaze! It was just a greally great tasting liquid - I used Splenda Brown Sugar which is half real brown sugar - so then I tried adding some extra regular white sugar, no dice - I was bringing the dish to a Thanksgiving dinner, so I decided to just leave the liquid at home because - surprise! The carrots and ginger tasted fantastic anyways! So what a versatile recipe! I used baby carrots and quartered them lengthwise because I wanted as much surface as possible exposed to the oj, ginger and other flavorings. The store was out of powdered ginger! But they had crystallized fresh - I washed off the sugar crystals, dried the ginger and cut into very small julienne strips. It took about 20 minutes for the carrots etc. to cook tender, slighly crisp - first brough to just a regular boil then a simmer. The dish tastes fabulous, very festive - and with the translucent ginger strips, looks great too. Thank you for a keeper! Just if anyone has a hint about why my glaze didn't reduce- please post here :)
