This is a good recipe. I found it on the internet and I have made carrots and pineapple and loved the taste.



Brown sugar, or honey and butter. Here are some recipes.

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

2 pounds carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt

Peel the carrots, & cut into 1/4-inch slices. Heat 1 inch water to boiling in the saucepan over high heat. Add the 1/4 teaspoons salt if desired. Add the carrot slices. Cover & heat to boiling again.

Reduce heat just enough so water bubbles gently. Cook covered 12 to 15 minutes or until carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. While carrots are cooking, heat the brown sugar, margarine, orange peel & 1/2 teaspoon salt in the skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved & mixture is bubbly. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will taste scorched. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Drain carrots in a strainer, then stir them into the brown sugar mixture. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally & gently, until carrots are glazed & hot.

Mmm. This one is tasty. It's a twist on the old brown sugar/butter glaze, adding dijon mustard (use spicy brown or even regular yellow, if you haven't got dijon). Yum!

Simply butter but also you could glaze with a little honey and pop them in the oven for 10 or so mins after being steamed.

Orange juice and brown sugar and a sprinkle of ginger makes them fancy. Or a cream sauce. I like them best with butter.
