Looking for an easy way to dress up cooked carrots, I hit on this delicious recipe. The fruity glaze complements the natural sweetness of the carrots. I've found this versatile side dish can be used with almost any meat. Ingredients:
8 medium carrots, sliced |
1/2 cup dried apricots, sliced |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon butter |
1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. Place 1 in. of water in a large saucepan; add carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 9-11 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In the same pan, combine the remaining ingredients; cook and stir until lightly thickened. Return carrots to the pan; stir until glazed and heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
