PERFECT GLAZED CARROTS

This is a side dish that my wife loves when I make it. My daughter is not crazy for cooked carrots, but everyone has to sacrifice once in a while. This recipe is a quick and easy way to dress up carrots. Give it a try. Enjoy!

PERFECT GLAZED CARROTS

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut 1/4" on the bias
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
black pepper to taste

Bring the carrots, salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and water to a boil in a 12" covered sauce pan over a medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer; stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to high and simmer rapidly, until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 1-2 minutes. Add butter and remaining brown sugar, toss carrots to coat, stir frequently until carrots are tender and glaze is light gold, about three minutes. Off heat, add lemon juice, toss to coat. Add pepper to taste and serve. ENJOY!
