These are good! We loved the creamy sauce. Very easy recipe, and a very refreshing change from the ordinary carrots. Thanks, Evie*!

I had unexpected dinner guests tonight and decided to try these carrots. They got rave reviews and disappeared like a snowflake on water.

I nixed the cream, added more cider, and some freshly grated ginger (just a touch). Excellent carrots!

Allow me to begin by saying-the sauce is *extraordinary*!! Instead of boiling the carrots; organic carrots in this case, I lightly sauteed them in a bit of grapeseed oil. Then I added about 3 tablespoons of frozen apple juice concentrate (had no idea what dried apple cider is, the mix?? in those envelopes??), and brought to a boil. Lowered the heat and cooked for about 4-5 minutes only until the carrots were "al dente", then I added 4 ounces of heavy whipping cream, freshly grated nutmeg and the remaining ingredients. Went very well with my posted raspberry chicken and orzo pasta. Thank you for posting the recipe.

I received mixed reviews from my family w/this, My eldest DS-no go, my DH thought they had too much of a bite to them, My youngest DS had 2 helpings!(he said he loved the 'dip'), and I thought they were just fine, loved the apple/cream sauced flavor. Thanks Evie*-
