Glazed Carrots and Cranberries

I am not one for cooked carrots, fresh ~~ yes but not cooked.  I finally found a recipe that I can use for cooked carrots and they are so good and taste so fresh.. not mushy.  This is a perfect recipe to eat with Cornish Hen with Apricot Glaze and Wild Rice Dressing.  It gives your plate that pop of colour.

  4. They look yummy! I love carrots either way! My son on the other hand only likes them raw. Maybe he would eat them with some honey!
