Candied Carrots

Print Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces carrots sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup water
  • dash salt
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp orange peel
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced carrots with the remaining ingredients. Stir to blend ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking with a light boil (uncovered) for about 30 minutes, or until carrots are tender and the water has evaporated and the sauce is thickened.

Notes

The added water is needed to properly cook the carrots without them sticking to the pan, so the extended boil time is to evaporate that water leaving just the butter and brown sugar glaze on the carrots.
