• Allow vegetables to carmelize in pan, but do not burn.
• This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

• Combine sugar, juices and seasonings in a small bowl.
• Pour juice mixture over vegetables in pan and toss gently to coat.
• Cook over medium heat until liquid reduces and is syrupy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• I don't use the Mccormicks seasoning, just because I have always used Wild Oats Caribbean Seasoning.
• If you have a favorite brand, use it.
• Just stay away from the ones with sugar as an ingredient.
• This freezes very well and I always make 3 or 4 batches at once in my dutch oven.
