Steps:

• 1. In a medium-size saucepan, add carrots and enough water to cook. Cook over medium-high heat until tender. When cooked, pour off most of the water but RESERVE ABOUT 3/4 CUP.
• 2. In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar, nutmeg if using, salt, butter, orange marmalade, & orange liqueur.
• 3. Pour mixture over carrots then add reserved liquid, then stir.
• 4. Let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat. Stir to avoid sticking.
• 5. Special Note: You may substitute honey for the marmalade if desired, and use rum or bourbon instead of the liqueur. Garnish with orange slices, orange wedges or orange cups & a sprig of mint if desired.

Steps:

• Combine carrots, water to cover, and salt in pan. Cover and cook over medium heat 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and marmalade and simmer about 10 minutes or until sugar is melted. Stir in carrots and 1/2 cup Grand Marnier. Simmer, uncovered about 30 minutes or until carrots are shiny and candied. Add remaining Grand Marnier.
• Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve in orange shells, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt; set aside.
• Pour mandarin oranges with juice into blender or food processor and pulse a couple times just until oranges are roughly chopped; add enough freshly-squeezed orange juice to make 1 1/4 cups chopped mandarin orange-juice blend; set aside.
• In mixing bowl, beat eggs and add sugars; stir in oil, the mandarin orange-juice blend, liqueur, and orange zest; then stir in carrots, coconut, and optional nuts; add dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
• Pour batter into a 9x13" baking pan that has been greased and floured or just coated with no-stick cooking spray; a half-batch may be baked in either an 8x8" or 9x9" baking pan.
• Bake at 350°F for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean; a 9x9" cake will be done in 35 to 40 minutes; cool cake completely before frosting.
• For frosting: Beat together butter and cream cheese; stir in liqueur; gradually add powdered sugar, stirring well after each addition and gradually adding the freshly-squeezed orange juice; adjust powdered sugar and orange juice amounts as needed for proper spreading consistency.
• Because of the cream cheese it's best to keep this cake refrigerated after frosting, but for maximum flavor you may want to bring the cake back to room temperature after refrigeration. The frosted cake freezes well.
• *Note: The simple to make recipe halves very easily. Applesauce may be substituted for half of the canola oil and reduced-fat cream cheese may be used.
• **Note: The Recipezaar Kitchen Dictionary provides the following substitution: 2 tbsp unsweetened orange juice concentrate or orange juice + 1/2 tsp orange extract = 2 tbsp Grand Marnier.
