I drained the carrots. I mixed together the orange juice, brown sugar, used 2 Tbsp. margarine, 3\/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1\/4 tsp. each ground nutmeg and ginger, 1\/2 tsp. salt, then stirred together. I mixed the 4 tsp. cornstarch and 1\/4 cup water together, then added to orange juice mixture and stirred together over medium heat, in a 1-qt. saucepan just until sauce thickened. I added sauce to cooked carrots. I also cut up 4 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, and placed in a saucepan with 1 to 1-1\/2 cups water and added 3\/4 cup raisins. I brought this apple-raisin mixture to a boil and cooked just 10 minutes. I drained the apple-raisin mixture and added to carrot mixture. This made a delicious side dish! I think adding the ginger, apples and raisins added more flavor! Anyway, this recipe is a keeper!

They are so sweet and tender. I cut back on the sugar by half because the carrots were so sweet and also because we don't enjoy overly sweet food. BTW I used Domino's Bronulated brown sugar which is a pourable brown sugar. I used it almost all of the time in any recipe.I brought the crock pot up to temperature on high about an hour then I lowered the heat to low and cooked the carrots for another 3 hours. The carrots were perfectly al dente at that point. I stirred in the cornstarch mixture and the sauce thickened beautifully. Easy!!! Recipe is a keeper, for sure.
