Brown Sugar-Glazed Carrots (I usually half the recipe)
8 servings

2 lbs carrots (6-7 medium)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon grated orange peel
(I have left this out before if I don't have an orange, but best with it in)

Peel and cut carrots into 1/4 in slices. Heat 1 inch water to boiling in saucepan over high heat. Add 1/4 tsp salt and carrot slices. Cover and heat to boiling again. Reduce heat so water bubbles gently. Cook covered 12-15 minutes or until tender.

Heat the brown sugar, margarine, orange peel and 1/2 tsp salt in the skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not over cook, stir until sugar is dissolved and bubbly remove from heat.

Drain carrots and then add into the brown sugar mixture cook on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
