Glazed Radishes

Directions

1. 1
   In a heavy saucepan wide enough to hold the radishes in one layer cook the radishes in the butter with the sugar and the salt over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. 2
   Add 1/2 cup water, simmer the radishes, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender, and boil them, uncovered, shaking the pan occasionally, until the liquid has been reduced to a glaze.
3. 3
   Cook the radishes over moderate heat, swirling them, until they are coated with the glaze and sprinkle them with the parsley.
