Canning Carrots - Ball Glazed Carrots are amazing!

Ball Blue book has a great recipe for canning carrots and add a bit of sweetness to the jar. They have taken the tartness of orange juice and the sweetness of brown sugar and created a great glaze for the pressure canner to infuse the perfect flavor into carrots. Because this was a test recipe for flavor I used the packaged baby carrots from the store so I could check out the consistency and taste before I recommended them. It's really a great recipe and perfect to have for picky kid eaters that don't like their carrots.
