  • Total 10 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 lb ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
  • 1/4 cup real maple or maple-flavored syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch skillet, heat broth and salt to boiling over high heat. Add carrots; reduce heat to medium. Cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes or just until crisp-tender. Drain if necessary.
  • 2
    Add syrup and butter to carrots in saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until carrots are glazed. Sprinkle with pecans.

  • Substitute purchased sugar-glazed almonds for the pecans.
  • Real maple syrup is more expensive because it takes 20 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon of syrup! Less costly maple-flavored syrup is a blend of less-expensive syrup and pure maple syrup or flavoring.
