4 servings SERVINGS

Ingredients

1 lb carrots (peeling optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt water
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon white or black pepper

Optional

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Leave carrots whole if they are small, or cut into 1-inch pieces.

Put carrots in a pot with salt and add enough cold water to barely cover.

Cover pot and simmer carrots until just tender.

Drain all but 1/4 cup of water from carrots, stir in honey until fully dissolved. Cook uncovered under very low heat until all the water has evaporated. Toss with butter and pepper.

Season to taste with white wine, more salt, and/or pepper. The lemon juice makes it lighter and more appropriate for serving alongside poultry, pork, or lamb.
