                                          • Heat margarine and sugar in a large stock pot uncovered over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
                                          • Add orange juice concentrate, water, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
                                          • Fold in carrots, dried cranberries, and pineapple tidbits. Bring to a boil over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes.
                                          • While carrots are cooking, remove 3 Tbsp of hot liquid and place in small bowl.
                                          • Add cornstarch to the hot liquid and stir well until dissolved.
                                          • Add cornstarch mixture to carrot mixture. Stir and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 2 minutes. (If glaze becomes too thick add 2 ounces of water).
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Place 1 gal 3 cups (about 8¼ lb) of the glazed carrots in a steam table pan (12” x 20” x 2½”).
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher.
                                          • Serve ¾ cup (portion with 6 oz spoodle).
