Very good and very easy to do. My family liked these and they would make an excellent substitution on the Thanksgiving buffet for sweet potatoes! Thanks!

A lightly sweet dish that goes well with chicken or pork. I used orange juice and Splenda brown sugar substitute. The carrots were microwaved and the sauce poured over when done.
