  1. Tasty side dish. I did use the most pathetic tasting carrots ever so I added additional sugar both with cooking (white) and when reheating (brown), reminds me why I am to buy only organic carrots, I used very soft sulfured (orange) dried apricots so I did not soak them the full amount of time, the other two ingredients and no optional parsley. Nice as a side dish to, recipe#307071, which we had with recipe#191855 and an onion raita for a good meal. I would make these again with sweet organic carrots. Made for ALMOST 5 GAME.
     
  2. I really enjoyed this carrot recipe. I didn't add the parsley, but the combined tastes of the apricots and carrots were surprisingly good! Made for 123 Hit Wonders!
     
  3. So easy to make!
     
  4. This was very easy to do. This is a nice side dish just sweet enough. Thanks Annacia :) Made for Photo tag.
     
  5. The recipe made 3 nice servings for dinner this evening. The carrots were waffle cut and microwaved until crisp tender. They were then put into a saute pan along with the butter, apricots and sprinkled with parsley to complete the cooking process. A nice side that would go well with chicken or pork. Something I will have to keep for later use. Made for *Photo Swap*
