COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Honey Carrots, slow-simmered in a honey & butter flavored sauce, Skillet Corn, slow-simmered with onions, black pepper and a hint of bacon -- these new seasoned canned vegetables caused quite a traffic jam at the Glory Foods sampling booth during the Charlotte Southern Women's Show in North Carolina. Sampling products at special events attended by busy Moms searching for new meal planning solutions enables Glory Foods to gauge consumer response to their products -- often with great results. For homemaker A. Hall of Denver, North Carolina, Glory Foods Skillet Corn was a step back in time. "Glory's skillet corn reminds me of being a little girl and my great aunt's cooking. It's just a homey, comfortable taste." C. Bennie, a grandmother from Stanley, North Carolina, loved Glory Foods Honey Carrots. "This is something I would serve my grandchildren, because I think it would be healthy for them."
