Takes a long time to make but easy. Quantity of balsamic vinegar depends on your vinegar, be careful. Ugly, but tasty.

Delicious! These are so tender with a wonderful subtle balsamic flavor. Would not change a thing. Made using 1 lb. pack of fresh peeled baby carrots and baked at 375*F. Put these in our favorites book. Thanks for the post.

This was a big hit at Thanksgiving! Doubled the recipe, cooked it at 350F and for a bit longer than called for, and they were delicious. I think next time I'll sub half the normal balsamic for a flavored kind and see how that changes things.
