Directions

1 Heat 1 inch water to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add carrots and, if desired, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer covered 12 to 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
2 While carrots are cooking, heat brown sugar, butter, orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 10- or 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will taste scorched. Remove from heat.
3 Drain carrots. Stir carrots into brown sugar mixture. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently, until carrots are glazed and hot.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Want this dish to look really special? Cut the carrots into diagonal slices or julienne strips. Be sure to decrease the cooking time because the carrots will have more surface area and cook more quickly.

Add another flavor dimension to this veggie side dish by stirring in 1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot with the orange peel.

I did not have all the ingredients on hand so really, I just made this as basic brown sugar carrots. I tried to halve the recipe as I only had about 1 lb of carrots left, but even with half the brown sugar it just didn't seem like enough butter. I ended up using the full 1/4 cup of butter and I thought it was too much - but according to my boyfriend, the carrots were perfect. Great! I will try to have some oranges around next time.
