SLOW-COOKER CITRUS CARROTS

Slow-Cooker Citrus Carrots image

These carrots are yummy and so simple. The recipe is from my mom, who tweaked it a bit to suit her tastes. You can make this dish a day in advance and refrigerate until needed. Then just reheat it in the slow cooker right before the party. -Julie Puderbaugh, Berwick, PA
