"This was terrific! I actually used baby carrots and used orange preserves instead of apricot. I think the orange was perfect for this dish!..." See more"

"I made this tonight as a side veggie dish with the Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers. I tweaked it though cause didn't have apricot preserves. I used sugar free orange marmalade (that's what I had)..." See more, and then did the recipe to exact. Oh gosh it was fantastic. My son loved it. Will make this again. Try it with the orange preserves....YUM."
