SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was a nice dish. I needed some ideas for the gigantic bushel of carrots I have from my garden.
This is an amazing dish! I made it for myself and loved it so much I made it for my family Christmas day. The carrots and raisins complement each other perfectly to create a lightly sweet, elegant side dish. I sprinkled the almonds on before cooking so they could toast, stirred the dish after a half hour, then cooked it for an additional half hour. DELICIOUS- thanks Dink/Aunt Nancy!
