Recipe(tried): Tangerine Glazed Carrots

TANGERINE AND HONEY GLAZED BABY CARROTS

This tangerine glazed carrots recipe comes from a wonderful cook on Gail's Recipe Swap by the name of Richard Young.

Baby carrots*
FOR THE GLAZE:
6 tbsp butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup orange flavored liqueur
1/4 cup tangerine or orange juice
1 tbsp. Rose's Lime Juice
1 tbsp. grated or finely minced tangerine or orange peel
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

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.

Melt the butter in a large skillet, stir in the remaining ingredients for the glaze 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.

*I use the big bag of baby carrots my grocery store carries, I think it might be a 3 lb. bag.
