SLOW COOKER GLAZED CARROTS

When trying to pull a meal together with multiple dishes, it is a wonderful help to be able to pop something in the slow cooker and not have to think about it until it is done.
This was a yummy recipe, the carrots were cooked perfectly, and came out of the slow cooker with a delicious glaze, giving them a hint of sweetness.

SLOW COOKER GLAZED CARROTS

3/4 cup orange marmalade
