Christina's Notes
- This Recipe Can be Doubled: This is a great recipe for a crowd. Simply increase the ingredients proportionately and split it into batches before cooking.
- Render Bacon Properly: Cook the bacon slowly to render out the fat, which will be used to make the glaze. Try these next year for Easter.
- Don't Overcook: Cook the carrots until carrots become tender but still have a slight bite.
- Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup to your taste. Feel free to melt butter on top, and salt and pepper.
- Use Quality Bacon: The flavor of the bacon will significantly impact the overall dish to make a “candied carrots that's beautiful.
- Glaze at the End: Add the Brown sugar glaze near the very end of cooking, to prevent burning.
