I’ve rounded out many dinners with my carrots. I like them best with a main dish of roast turkey, brisket or braised short ribs.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
3 tablespoons butter
2 pounds fresh carrots, sliced
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
4 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and orange juice. Cook and stir over low heat for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Stir in cranberries and orange peel; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add carrots and water; stir until well coated. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender.
3. Stir in the pine nuts, vinegar, salt and cranberry mixture. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until carrots are tender. Yield: 8 servings.
