Expert Tips

Substitute purchased sugar-glazed almonds for the pecans.

Real maple syrup is more expensive because it takes 20 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of syrup! Less costly maple-flavored syrup is a blend of less-expensive syrup and pure maple syrup or flavoring.

I made this to take to my husbands friends house. It was pretty good, simple and a quick fix to a last minuite invite. If only I had known they didn't like cooked carrots. Not so good re-heated.
