Orange Carrots

I cannot remember where we found this recipe but we made it for a "little Christmas Eve" dinner and they were yummy... and we only had one serving of left overs!


INGREDIENTS
3 tsp of Orange rind
1.5 cups of slivered almonds
4 TSBP Butter
5 T Brown Sugar
6 tsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
3 cups Orange Juice
3 lbs of carrots, baby or stripped (we used stripped, which was a lot of work)

Directions:
1) Saute almonds in butter for 5 minutes, remove from pan
2) Combine Brown Sugar, Cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg in large frying pan, add juice and rind and cook stirring constantly until slightly thicker and clear. Add Almonds
3 ) Serve over hot cooked carrots.

I cannot remember how many servings it made because we tripled it for our crowd. It is tasty and easy to reheat.
