    Very tasty, I mostly followed as written except for not measuring anything. Will certainly make again.

    I just made 4 pounds of carrots this way for Thanksgiving dinner hoping there would be leftovers. I was wrong. Even the kids loved it. I did use splenda instead of sugar and I didn't really measure, but put in the amount that I would normally to take the tang out of the vinegar. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Just the right amount of "sweet" for me... most butter-sugared carrots are much too sweet for me, but these were perfect. I used carrots from our garden that I had frozen so the carrots' flavor was intense and this recipe didn't overpower them at all. A delicious side dish that's quick and versatile--- thanks so much again, Evelyn!
