Glazed Carrots With Fresh Dill

Submitted by cchampion1974

"I grew up on glazed carrots prepared with brown sugar, butter and whatever marmalade my mother had on hand. However, I've grown to prefer this method, where the sugar dissolves more easily, and the carrots turn slightly brown as liquid reduces and forms a glaze. Dried dill will work for color but fresh works best for depth of flavor."
