The tangerine glazed carrots comes from a wonderful cook on Gail's Recipe Swap by the name of Richard Young.
I use the big bag of baby carrots my grocery store carries, I think it might be a 3 lb. bag.
Place the carrots in a steamer, sprinkle with a tablespoon of crushed dried peppermint. Steam to your liking, I do them crisp tender so they'll hold up.
Glaze: 6 tblsp butter 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup orange flavored liqueur 1/4 cup tangerine or orange juice 1 tbls. Rose's Lime Juice 1 tbls. grated or finely minced tangerine or orange peel 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Melt the butter in a large skillet, stir in the remaining ingredients and cook over low heat, stirring, and simmer until mixture reduces to a syrup like consistency. This doesn't take long.
Toss the steamed carrots into the glaze and heat, stirring, to coat the carrots with the mixture.
Garnish with fresh mint.
