The carrots can be served in hollowed out orange shells for a nice presentation. The recipe also says they may be prepared ahead and reheated although I have never done that. Prep time does not include the time to clean and cut the carrots.

Steps:
- Cut carrots into 2 inch long matchsticks. Set aside. In small saucepan, mix sugar and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for two minutes. Add cinnamon and simmer one more minute. Remove from heat. Stir in Grand Marnier and butter until melted. Cook carrots in boiling, salted water until just tender. Drain and toss with sauce. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For this recipe, it's best to use fresh, young carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality Grand Marnier: The quality of the Grand Marnier will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a Grand Marnier that is at least 40% alcohol by volume.
- Don't boil the Grand Marnier: Boiling will burn off the alcohol and ruin the flavor. Instead, add it to the carrots at the end of the cooking process.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their most tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This recipe for carrots with Grand Marnier is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this classic vegetable. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the Grand Marnier. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
