Ingredients
- 6-8 large carrots
- ½ cup butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- water for boiling the carrots
Instructions
- Peel the carrots, cut them in half, then cut into quarters.
- Add the carrots to a sauce pan. Add enough water to cover the carrots, then add the salt to the water.
- Bring water and carrots to a low boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender and cooked through.
- Once carrots are done, drain off any excess water in a strainer and add the carrots back to the pan.
- Add the butter and brown sugar and stir. Cook over medium heat for about five minutes or so until the butter and brown sugar have all mixed together. Let simmer for a few more minutes and stir every so often.
- Dump the carrots into a serving bowl. The glaze will be a little bit runny so use a serving spoon that allows you to get some of the glaze and drizzle it over the carrots when dishing up.
