This was a great tasty side dish!! Loved the mix of honey and vinegar!! Didn't add any raisins - but I am sure it would be a wonderful addition!! Thanks Chef Kate!

Nice and mildly flavored sweet and sour carrots, no overpowering tones at all. Not overly memorable, either.

Made these carrots to go along with a baked ham. I did add the raisins, used ground cumin, matchstick sliced carrots, and green onions. The sweet/sour flavor was just right, we all enjoyed!

Both my husband and I really enjoyed this. I think it's great as a relish to meats and cheeses or on its own. We particularly enjoyed it in pita bread with lamb patties, yogurt, lemon juice and onions. You could use it as part of a salad or it would be quite good as a variation on a Ploughman's sandwich, instead of the chutney. A nice way to use up the glut of carrots I have at the moment.
