I’ve been making candied carrots for years. I learned to make them from my mom and she learned to make them from her dad. And they are so good. People who generally don’t like carrots like them. But today I saw Pioneer Woman’s version and decided to give them a try. All I can say is that from now on I’m making them her way. I suppose it shouldn’t have surprised me that coating the carrots in butter, brown sugar and whiskey would turn a mere vegetable into something worthy of a blog post. You can read the recipe and see photos of the process here.
I just tried her chicken legs tonight…..everyone loved them. I like candied carrots…..I make them with butter and brown sugar, but never added the whiskey. Do you think it makes that big of a difference? Can you taste the whiskey?
This recipe was MUCH better. It didn’t taste like whiskey; it reminded me of the sauce on bread pudding.
I’ll have to try the chicken legs. I’ve liked every recipe of hers that I’ve tried. Her chocolate cake is the only one I make anymore.
