We had this with our grilled (outdoors!) burgers tonight and it was great - a nice 'blast from the past' for my Mom, who remembers her mother making this dish. The instructions are a bit too easy....I combined the sauce ingredients and heated them up a bit to blend the sugar, then added the results to the carrots, onions and peppers. It still gets a 5* from me because of the smile on my Mom's face. Thanks Bunkie :)
