Honey & Ginger Glazed Carrots

Submitted by Jubes

"A delicious glaze over boiled carrots. Makes a simple veggie a little special. The carrots can be steamed or microwaved until cooked. The glaze is prepared separately and poured over the cooked carrots to coat. You can either slice your carrots or use whole baby carrots, If you're not a ginger fan then you can use garlic in place of the ginger. If you have an Italian style dish the garlic can be a good substitute for the ginger called for in this recipe"

The DS, DM and myself thoroughly enjoyed this as a side with tonights roast. I used 3 large carrots with 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon of jared minced ginger (I only use Jensens Organic) but for dietary reasons (diabetic) only used 1/2 tablespoon of honey which gave it a lovely sweetness which enhanced the carrot and suited us. I also put about half the toasted sesame seeds in the glaze mix and sprinkled the other half over the carrots. Thank you *Alia*, made for Healthy Choices ABC,
