Five stars for such an easy and tasty carrot dish! It was a perfect accompanyment for recipe #321104 and recipe #340342 I expect that I will be making carrots this way many, many more times. I was not careful with my measurements and made enough for 2. I used all of the apricot preserve but would scale it back next time to the more appropriate 1/8 cup.

Very nice side dish Jim. I chunked up whole carrots in place of the "baby carrots" but that was the only change. The slight taste of nutmeg and orange is wonderful with the carrots. A nice change of pace from the other way I make a side dish of carrots. Made for your win in the Football Pool Week 1 of 2009! Congrats!
