I made this for Thanksgiving & it was a hit. It is SO easy to make and delicious! The combination of flavors: apple, bacon, onions & a hint of heat in the red pepper is palate-pleasing. I've made it a few times since & it's a winner every time. I have interchanged the chives for scallions ... and have used freeze-dried chives (in the spice bottle section) and it hasn't made any difference in the outstanding outcome. It does take about 20 minutes to get tender carrots though.
