Oh yum, Bergy, these carrots are so good, we just couldn't get enough of them, these are better than candy!, I had pistachio nuts left over from Christmas in the freezer, otherwise I will mabey try cashews next time, I really think that this recipe would be just as good with any kind of nuts. I made these carrots to go with my brisket, (doubled the recipe)... and my family just went crazy over these. I will for sure be making these again, this is a winner...thanx Bergy for posting :-)

Wow, this is just soooooo good, Auntie Bergy! I love fresh carrots and just like you, I too enjoy my veggies a bit on the crisp side which is how I usually eat 'em. I really loved this recipe. I did add 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon instead of 1/8tsp. I did not have pistachios on hand, so I used cashewnuts as a substitute. Thank you for the recipe! Really love it:-)

This was a good side dish that also looks fancy! I was looking to use up some pistachios and this recipe sounded interesting. It was a nice change from boring old carrots, although, it is a little time consuming shelling all the pistachios!
