"I love carrots. If I remember correctly, this one came from or was adapted from the 1970s cookbook The Vegetarian Epicure. It has a sweet-and-sour taste."

I made as written but did cut down on the brown sugar a little, and with this step adding the sugar also cut the butter in half. I LOVED these as did the rest of the family, sticky not too sweet carrots and just divine. Thanks so much Echo, this take me back many years to when my older sister made these...YUM

I scaled the recipe back for 1 serve and made as per recipe but when making again I will cut back on the brown sugar as I found it a bit to sweet for me. Thank you Echo Echo made for Alphabet Soup Game.
