CITRUS RAINBOW CARROTS

Citrus Rainbow Carrots image

I grow lots of carrots and I'm always experimenting with ways to serve them. The first time I made this citrusy recipe for my husband, he said it tasted like Christmas! Although he calls them my "Christmas Carrots," they're tasty anytime; I especially like serving them at Easter, with the array of carrots available in early spring. It's easy to prepare, and can easily be doubled to serve a large group. To save time, I sometimes dice the carrots several days in advance. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I had a bunch of carrots that were starting to go bad, so I made this recipe and they turned out great!
