Description

You haven’t tried carrots until you’ve tried these, simmered in a buttery/savory glaze until carrot nirvana is achieved. So simple, yet so tasty.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 pounds Baby Carrots
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter Or Margarine
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Parsley, Dried

Preparation

The trick is knowing how hot your stove cooks, and knowing how much water you’ll need. The goal is to get the water to boil away in the span of 20 – 25 minutes. If it takes too long to boil away, the carrots will be mushy. Not enough water will shorten the cooking time and leave the carrots too crunchy.

-Combine all of the ingredients in a large sauce pan, on high heat. Set a timer for 20 minutes. That’s it. I told you it was simple!

-Bring to a rolling boil.

-Boil, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes. The carrots are finished when they start sizzling in the butter mixture left at the bottom of the pan. If you are at the 20 minute mark and there’s still a lot of water, scoop out the carrots and boil down the glaze until it is reduced to a syrup. If the carrots start sizzling before the 20 minutes are up, add a little bit more water to extend the cooking time as needed.

Done!

I love this recipe for carrots although I cook my carrots in club soda. I received this recipe from a very dear older friend.
