Ginger Candied Carrots

Ginger Candied Carrots

Ingredients

• 12 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch lengths. I like doing this diagonally.
  
• 4 tbsp sweet butter (unsalted)
  
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
  
• 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger; adding a pinch of finely minced fresh ginger root as well is very nice too
  
• 1/2 tsp caraway seeds

'Directions

1. Place carrot pieces in a saucepan and add cold water to cover. Cook until tender, 25-30 minutes.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar, ginger, caraway seeds. Mix & set aside.
3. When carrots are done, drain and return to pot. Pour butter mixture over them, cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer and serve immediately.

Makes about six servings.
