Slow-Cooker Citrus Carrots image

These carrots are yummy and so simple. The recipe is from my mom, who tweaked it a bit to suit her tastes. You can make this dish a day in advance and refrigerate until needed. Then just reheat it in the slow cooker right before the party. -Julie Puderbaugh, Berwick, PA

I would not recommend this recipe. The carrots were tough and the flavor was very underwhelming.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The carrots were a bit bland and I didn't really care for the citrus flavor.

I found that the carrots were a bit dry after cooking in the slow cooker. I think I'll try roasting them next time.

These carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of honey next time.
