This is a great carrot side dish that can easily be doubled or even tripled to serve a large dinner party. You can make this with peeled baby carrots also. Pat the cooked carrot sticks dry with a paper towel to insure they are very dry before placing them in the skillet.

- Melt butter in a skillet, add in carrots and the orange juice mixture.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the carrot sticks are coated, stirring frequently.
- Add in sweetened dried cranberries; cook until heated through.
