Okay people, Christmas is a week and a day away so we have to get serious about what's going to be on the table for Christmas dinner.  I am torn between a traditional Christmas dinner or full fledged Italian.  Decisions, decisions.  If I go the traditional route, which for me means a standing rib roast with a bunch of veggies served on the side, these pepper jelly roasted carrots will be making an appearance no doubt about it.

Canean loves carrots, like they are probably one of his favorite vegetables, raw or cooked.  Maybe he's part rabbit.  For some reason when I was growing up I didn't eat too many cooked carrots, I guess because my mom isn't that crazy about them.  I started making them myself more in a,  they go with a roast in a crock pot kind of way, and then got smart and started roasting them in the oven.
