Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the carrots; they should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Use a good quality rum for the best flavor. Dark rum will give a richer flavor than light rum.
  • Soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the carrots. This will help to plump them up and give them a more intense flavor.
  • Add the raisins to the carrots during the last few minutes of cooking so that they don't overcook.
  • Serve the carrots warm or at room temperature.
