This is a great recipe from The Good Housekeeping All-American Cookbook. I used to hate eating carrots until I tried this recipe. Kids are guaranteed to love this recipe! It's quick and easy and made from foods that are around the house. Ingredients:
water |
1 lb carrot, cut into 2 inch sticks (or even better, 1 lb baby carrots) |
salt |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add carrots and just enough water to cover them with 1/4 teaspoons salt.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Cover, then cook carrots for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender-crisp; drain well.
4. Return the carrots to the saucepan.
5. Mix in the butter or margarine, the sugar, 1/4 teaspoons salt and the nutmeg.
6. Return the mixture to the heat and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the carrots are glazed.
7. Transfer glazed carrots to a warmed bowl and serve.
