Glazed Carrots

Directions

1. 1
   Put the carrots in a saucepan with a pinch of salt and water to come about halfway up their height.
2. 2
   Add the butter, cover the pan, and turn the heat to medium-high.
3. 3
   Simmer until the carrots are nearly tender, about 20 minutes.
4. 4
   Uncover; much of the water will have evaporated.
5. 5
   Continue to cook until the carrots are shiny, about 5 minutes longer; if they threaten to burn, add a tablespoon or two of water.
6. 6
   When the carrots are done, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, garnish if you like, and serve.
