In a 6 quart slow cooker add in everything from marmalade to pepper and mix well.
Add in carrots and using tongs or your hands mix in the carrots so they are all evenly coated in the marmalade mixture.
Add thyme on top.
Cook on high for 3 hours.
Remove sprigs of thyme and discard. Coat carrots in sauce and serve along side your main entree or as is.
