Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. carrots (about 8 medium), pared and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 c. stock or broth
  • 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsp. butter
  • pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • freshly grated nutmeg to taste
  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine carrots, stock and brown sugar in a heavy saucepan with lid; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover tightly.
  2. 2
    Cook the carrots until they are about half done, 10 to 15 minutes; then remove the lid from the pot.
  3. 3
    Return the heat to medium-low and reduce the cooking liquid to a thick syrup.
  4. 4
    As the syrup thickens, shake the pan frequently to keep the carrots from sticking.
  5. 5
    When the syrup is thick, add the butter, pepper, nutmeg and salt.
  6. 6
    When the butter is melted, shake the pan again, rolling the carrots gently in the glaze so each piece is covered.
