Very tastey, I served it with my turkey dinner this easter. It received many compliments. I toasted my pecans. I made it earlier in the day and reheated it the mic; I was glad I did as it does take 15-20 min to make the glaze. But worth the effort.

My whole family loves these carrots. I normally just use regular carrots cut into pieces the size of a baby carrot.

Wonderful recipe. Will be making this a part of holiday traditions. I did change it up to what I had available. I just boiled maple syrup and brown sugar and tossed the carrots in with pecans.

Did this one for Easter Dinner and it was a hit...even my nephew who is very fussy though they were the "yummiest carrots ever". I skipped the nuts this time but may try the next. Thanx for ths one, a nice easy variation on cooked carrots.

Absolutely fabulous. I substituted Mandarin Orange with Sesame for the Catalina and it turned the carrots into a sensational side dish. My wife had a second helping.
