                                          • Add orange juice, water, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
                                          • Stir in carrots and dried cranberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue simmering for 8-10 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
                                          • Add cornstarch to the water and stir well until dissolved.
                                          • Add cornstarch mixture to carrot mixture. Stir and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and glazes the carrots. (If glaze becomes too thick, add water until desired consistency is reached).
                                            Critical Control Point:
                                            Heat to 135 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Place 6 lb/1 gal 1 qt of the glazed carrots in a steam table pan (12” x 20” x 2 ½”).
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                            Critical Control Point:
                                            Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          • Serve ½ cup (portion with 4 oz spoodle).
