I'm not a huge fan of marmalade, but I really liked these carrots. The marmalade flavor is subtle and it pairs well with the sweetness of the carrots.

These carrots are a great way to use up leftover marmalade. I always have a jar of marmalade in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

These carrots were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
