  • In a medium saucepan, add the carrots and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender; drain and place in a bowl; set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice, orange juice (or pineapple juice), cumin, garlic, and chili powder.
  • Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar bubbles and the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the cooked, drained carrots; toss to coat the carrots with the sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt; serve.

  1. Really good flavor, I went a little overboard on the chili powder because my husband really likes hot foods, a little too hot for me but he claimed it was the best thing he had eaten since the lemon soup in Thailand (he judges how good food is by how much he sweats while eating it) When I make it for guests I will follow the recipe. Always looking for new ways to cook carrots and chayotes, they are cheap here in Nicaragua.
     
  2. Very, very good! You prob could get away w/not using any butter I bet. It IS spicy and sweet, but not as spicy as you think reading off the ingredients! Will be a keeper and made frequently since I eat a lot of veggies these days!
     
  3. Easy, great taste, inexpensive, and good for you. There's also a lot of room for subtlety in this recipe - in the choice of pepper and hot sauce, and the fruit. I had some fresh pineapple, so I added that in place of the pineapply juice and the sugar. I might try it with just a touch of thyme.
     
  4. We liked these very much. I made them to go with my "Jamaican themed dinner" tonight and they were a hit and soooo easy to make. Great side dish for anytime. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
     
  5. I used baby carrots and it was a big hit when carrots are usually only tolerated if accompanying a roast.
