This is a seriously delicious and easy recipe. Loved the ginger and cinnamon. I didn't have raisins, so substituted with dried cranberries. This would be a perfect side for company too. Honoured to make this as a "Thank You" for voting for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in the 2010 Kraft Hockeyville Competition.

A real hit. I started it too early and so steamed the carrots too much, but noboby seemed to notice except me. No left-overs. :)

Delicious way to serve carrots!! I reduced all the ingredients by half, just enough for two of us. I used about a heaping teaspoon of fresh grated ginger (instead of the ground)The raisins are a tasty addition! Good recipe LoisM!!
