These were a big hit at dinner last evening. Easy to make plus tasty & sweet. I think next time i may try a little more ginger. Thank you Ellie for sharing your recipe.

These were gobbled up!! My daughter wanted to lick her plate. LOL! I used brown sugar instead of white and baby carrots cut in half. Thank you!

The ginger flavor was outstanding and went so well with Recipe 116806 (Ancho Pork Chops). I felt there was too much glaze, so next time I'll reduce the butter and sugar by half, yet keep the ginger just as is. Ellie_, thanks so much for such a simple recipe full of flavor!

I cut back on the sugar, only used 2 tbsp and increased the ginger to 3/4 tsp - A wonderful, subtle change to the usual carrot taste - it kicks it up a notch and compliments the regular carrot flavor Thanks ellie - I'll be making these again
