Brown Sugar & Cranberry Glazed Carrots

Brown Sugar & Cranberry Glazed Carrots

As some of you may already know, I am a little "freaky" about sweet potatoes..

 I luv 'em & then I luv 'em some more.

It was because of my slight addiction to sweet taters that I thought I should step out of the potato sack for a minute & try something new.  CARROTS & Cranberries...

All kidding aside, I can honestly say that I was very pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the brown sugar & cranberry combination.  Very mild and slightly sweet.  Delicious.  The Dried Cranberries became nice & moist when added to the mixture.
