Two ideas. <BR/><BR/>"Real" carrots, the ones you have to peel and chop, have a lot more flavor than the 'prepeeled little nuggets' of carrot. It adds about 5 minutes a pound for prep work but is worth it taste-wise. <BR/><BR/>You might also think about, flavor-wise swapping out "sweet" for "something else", maybe <A HREF="http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2006/02/day-311-curried-carrots.html" REL="nofollow">curry</A> or something like <A HREF="http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2006/01/day-272-carrots-braised-in-marsala.html" REL="nofollow">marsala</A>?<BR/><BR/>It's funny though. When your message first arrived, I asked, Why would anyone add sugar to carrots? But when I checked the Recipe Box for other flavor ideas, nearly all the recipes from cookbooks/magazines I've made this year DO include a pinch of sugar. So obviously you're not alone and obviously I haven't been paying attention!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great question.Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1141960265440843602006-03-09T21:11:00.000-06:002006-03-09T21:11:00.000-06:00Alanna, I've always used sugar to sweeten my carro...Alanna, I've always used sugar to sweeten my carrots, but need to quit using the sugar. I could switch to Splenda, but was wondering--does cooking the carrot juice til it's syrupy make it sweeter?Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485300845528483642noreply@blogger.com
