MINTED CARROTS

The only secret to the minted carrots that make such a good side dish with roast duck, is that FRESH mint must be used. If you're thinking of substituting dried mint or mint extract, just forget the whole thing.

To prepare, peel and slice diagonally 8 large carrots and boil in salted water until just tender. Drain well and add 1/2 cup honey and 8 leaves of crushed mint. Warm over low heat, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
