Carrots?

[becka]

Both of my kids love canned carrots so I wanted to serve some carrots for our Christmas meal. I have never made a carrot dish so does anyone have any good carrot ideas? I have heard that there is a way to make kind of a sweet carrot dish with maybe brown sugar or something.

Thanks for any help!!!

I used to make candied carrots (like candied yams) for DH when we were first married, but stopped because I can't eat them but they always tempted me. (I know, I'm mean. LOL)

Anyway, I just melted butter in a pan, put in the drained carrots (or just used raw ones & did them longer) and added brown sugar. You really have to watch it or the sugar will burn, but that's all there is to it.

thats how I make them also...cook you carrots and then add butter and brown sugar...we call them glazed carrots

I like to toss mine with butter and a little cinnamon - yum!

For glazed carrots I toss them in some apricot or peach jam to glaze them - again yum!

My mother would start with fresh raw carrots and slice them julienne style. Then, she would place them in a pot with some water, brown sugar and butter and allow them to simmer on a burner until they cooked thoroughly (maybe a bit longer depending on what you like). My son and I love them this way. The carrots do not have any sort of glaze, but they are yummy because they have soaked up the flavors from the brown sugar and butter.

oh - and try adding some cashews - yum!!!

I peel and slice raw carrots longways - a bit thicker than julienne - and toss them in a mixture of oil, honey and fresh thyme then throw them in the oven under the potatoes for about 40 mins. Yummy!
