Rated 4 out of 5 by from easy recipe to follow I have tried this recipe several times, but I do not include the Bourbon. Instead, I have used maple syrup or vanilla extract. The carrots are very tasty. I serve them with grilled or roasted chicken. I like to find thinner carrots with stems, as they look very nice on the serving dish when entertaining.
