Marinated Carrots

This is a very old recipe that was handed down to my Mother from her aunt, who we called "Aunt El", and who has long since passed away. I just found the recipe as I was packing up boxes in preparation for a major move. I have no idea how many it serves because a "bunch" of carrots is anybody's guess. I think of it more as a condiment or something to serve at a barbecue. If Splenda is used for the sugar it can be a very low calorie dish. Also, the ingredients are generally on hand, so it's pretty economical. Thanks Aunt El!

I had company coming and wanted to make something different with lots of flavor. This fit the bill and everyone really enjoyed their carrots made this way!

    I add a can of garbazo beans, drained. They add something to the recipe that just really sets everything off and it is delicious!

    This is one of the recipes I'm making for Christmas dinner this year. I was looking on the internet to see what a bunch of carrots weighed. I found one site saying that a bunch is no less then 1 pound. So I used 2 pounds of baby carrots. After mixing the marinade I think I could have used 1 more pound of carrots as it makes a lot of marinade. The carrots have a nice sweet but not to sour taste to them. Thanks
