GRAND MARNIER CARROTS
The carrots can be served in hollowed out orange shells for a nice presentation. The recipe also says they may be prepared ahead and reheated although I have never done that. Prep time does not include the time to clean and cut the carrots.

GRAND MARNIER CARROT CAKE
Delicious nuances of bright orange flavor grace this wonderfully moist carrot cake and luscious cream cheese frosting. Its taste and texture compare with what I've tried at fancy resorts and so I decided to give the cake a more fitting name. Grand Marnier Carrot Cake was originally called Sunshine Day Carrot Cake. The recipe was created expressly by me for the RSC #9 Contest.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt; set aside.
- Pour mandarin oranges with juice into blender or food processor and pulse a couple times just until oranges are roughly chopped; add enough freshly-squeezed orange juice to make 1 1/4 cups chopped mandarin orange-juice blend; set aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat eggs and add sugars; stir in oil, the mandarin orange-juice blend, liqueur, and orange zest; then stir in carrots, coconut, and optional nuts; add dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Pour batter into a 9x13" baking pan that has been greased and floured or just coated with no-stick cooking spray; a half-batch may be baked in either an 8x8" or 9x9" baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean; a 9x9" cake will be done in 35 to 40 minutes; cool cake completely before frosting.
- For frosting: Beat together butter and cream cheese; stir in liqueur; gradually add powdered sugar, stirring well after each addition and gradually adding the freshly-squeezed orange juice; adjust powdered sugar and orange juice amounts as needed for proper spreading consistency.
- Because of the cream cheese it's best to keep this cake refrigerated after frosting, but for maximum flavor you may want to bring the cake back to room temperature after refrigeration. The frosted cake freezes well.
- *Note: The simple to make recipe halves very easily. Applesauce may be substituted for half of the canola oil and reduced-fat cream cheese may be used.
- **Note: The Recipezaar Kitchen Dictionary provides the following substitution: 2 tbsp unsweetened orange juice concentrate or orange juice + 1/2 tsp orange extract = 2 tbsp Grand Marnier.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium-size saucepan, add carrots and enough water to cook. Cook over medium-high heat until tender. When cooked, pour off most of the water but RESERVE ABOUT 3/4 CUP.
- 2. In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar, nutmeg if using, salt, butter, orange marmalade, & orange liqueur.
- 3. Pour mixture over carrots then add reserved liquid, then stir.
- 4. Let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat. Stir to avoid sticking.
- 5. Special Note: You may substitute honey for the marmalade if desired, and use rum or bourbon instead of the liqueur. Garnish with orange slices, orange wedges or orange cups & a sprig of mint if desired.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored.
- Be sure to peel the carrots before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- You can use either whole or baby carrots for this recipe. If using whole carrots, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the carrots. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender but still slightly firm. You don't want them to become mushy.
- The Grand Marnier sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality Grand Marnier. You can also use other orange liqueurs, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec, but Grand Marnier is the best choice.
- Serve the carrots immediately after cooking. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Carrots with Grand Marnier is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are cooked in a sweet and tangy Grand Marnier sauce that is sure to please everyone at your table.
