This is very nice way to prepare carrots! I made 1/4 of the recipe, using fresh baby carrots. I really enjoyed the orange/ginger flavor with the sweet carrots. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These carrots were very yummy. Very kid friendly. I used baby carrots that I cooked in a steamer. I used sugar reduced marmalade. No salt and no ginger. Thanks Meg. Made for Alphabet chef game

Very good, very easy side dish. As suggested by other reviewers, I cut back on the amount of marmalade (and was glad I did), but otherwise made as written. Like lazyme, I might next time try to use fresh ginger, as I think that would really make the dish *pop* nicely. Thanks for sharing!
