This summer, my daughter picked out carrots that she wanted to plant in our garden, and lucky for us, they did very well. So, I just had to come up with some really great recipes to use them in.

Maple and bacon glazed carrots have been a side dish that I have been making for years. I just added the personal touch of using bacon fat. I actually started making this recipe in college when I worked in a monastic organic garden for summer. The Nuns gave me the recipe. So now when you try this recipe, you can exclaim, “Holy Maple and Bacon Glazed Carrots, these are good”! Ha! On with the recipe…
