1

lb baby carrots, peeled
2

teaspoons granulated sugar
2

tablespoons butter
¹⁄₂

teaspoon salt
1

tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped (or chopped parsley)

DIRECTIONS

In a medium, shallow saucepan, add carrots, sugar, butter, salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes, or until carrots are almost tender.
Turn up heat to boil rapidly until all the liquid has evaporated to form a shiny glaze. Toward the end of cooking time, watch carefully so sugar does not caramelize. Taste for seasoning.
Just before serving, add chopped mint or parsley; toss. Spoon into a serving dish.
