These are delicious! The ginger cuts the marmalade so that the carrots aren't too sweet. I only used about half of the ginger. The presentation is beautiful too with the glaze and the orange peel (from the marmalade) sticking to the carrots. Thanks Holly!

This is very nice way to prepare carrots! I made 1/4 of the recipe, using fresh baby carrots. I really enjoyed the orange/ginger flavor with the sweet carrots. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These carrots were very yummy. Very kid friendly. I used baby carrots that I cooked in a steamer. I used sugar reduced marmalade. No salt and no ginger. Thanks Meg. Made for Alphabet chef game

Very good, very easy side dish. As suggested by other reviewers, I cut back on the amount of marmalade (and was glad I did), but otherwise made as written. Like lazyme, I might next time try to use fresh ginger, as I think that would really make the dish *pop* nicely. Thanks for sharing!

Yum! I made these as directed and loved the result. The only thing that I would do differently next time would be to use fresh minced ginger. Thanks megandbrycesmom. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks.
