Citrus Rainbow Carrots image

I grow lots of carrots and I'm always experimenting with ways to serve them. The first time I made this citrusy recipe for my husband, he said it tasted like Christmas! Although he calls them my "Christmas Carrots," they're tasty anytime; I especially like serving them at Easter, with the array of carrots available in early spring. It's easy to prepare, and can easily be doubled to serve a large group. To save time, I sometimes dice the carrots several days in advance. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The citrus and honey glaze really made the carrots pop. I'll definitely be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The carrots were a bit bland and the glaze was too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad, but not great. The carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
