EASY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots into a microwave-safe bowl; add brown sugar, butter, and orange marmalade to carrots. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and cook in microwave on high power for 3 minutes; stir. If butter and marmalade aren't completely melted, continue cooking on high power for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until carrots are coated with glaze.

GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to reach depth of 1 inch, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer carrots until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
• Melt butter in the same saucepan; stir brown sugar, salt, and white pepper into butter until brown sugar and salt have dissolved. Transfer carrots into brown sugar sauce; cook and stir until carrots are glazed with sauce, about 5 more minutes.

QUICK HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: I didn't include the time for cooking the carrots in the prep time listed above, so if your carrots aren't already cooked, just boil them or steam them in water until they are tender. You could also open two cans of carrots, which are already cooked. As noted above, the baby carrots I used for this demo were cooked with a roast. (I just dumped the whole bag in the crockpot. There was PLENTY of glaze for that amount of carrots.) **If you don't want so many carrots, just cut the glaze in half. It's all good!
• 2. In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over MEDIUM heat.
• 3. Add (or just squirt) the honey... I only put it in a measuring cup to impress you. Honest!
• 4. ...and scoop up some brown sugar to add.
• 5. Stir until it all melts together.
• 6. Add the cooked carrots and toss them in the glaze until they are covered. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
• 7. Cover the skillet with a lid & turn the heat down to LOW. Stirring every few minutes, cook until the glaze incorporates into the carrots, maybe 10 minutes. Maybe less. It's up to you.
• 8. Serve immediately. In this photo, the carrots have been reunited with the beef roast. By the way, the carrots are also good cold. The few remaining ones were nibbled on while the kitchen was getting cleaned after supper.
• 9. OPTION: If you have a can of sweet potatoes that you've been looking at for too long, drain them and toss them in the honey glaze. It's not just for carrots anymore! =^..^=
