A touch of orange juice and honey makes these glazed carrots irresistible.

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter, or margarine
4 cups baby or regular carrots, peeled and cut into 2-in. sticks
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the baby carrots or carrot sticks and cook stirring, over medium heat, until they brown very slightly—about 10 minutes.
Add the orange juice, honey and salt and bring to a boil. Keep the mixture simmering, stirring once in a while, until the carrots are tender and glazed, about 15 minutes or so. Young baby carrots will usually cook faster than older ones—so you'll just have to taste one or two.
