APRICOT GLAZED CARROTS
A tangy sweet and sour glaze of apricots, honey and oranges make these carrots shine,not only on the dinner plate but in the eyes of your family or guests as well.
Shredded Phyllo dough is the wrapping for this appetizer, and it can be deep fried or baked. I chose to bake these, but they are a treat no matter how you make them.**SEE COOK'S NOTES**

they will end up being tender but firm.
