Ingredients:
Coins Not to Save
6 med carrots, thinly sliced
6 Tbsp orange juice
1 1/2 tsp unsalted butter
3/4 tsp ground ciinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Place carrots and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Cover and cook carefully over medium-low heat 6 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp. Take care not to overcook the carrots, they taste much better a little "dente" or crisp.
Add butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and pepper. Cook 1 minute, stirring to coat.
* Get creative when slicing up those carrots. Carrots can be cut straight across yielding coin-like rings about 1/4 inch thick. Cutting diagonally also gives an interesting effect. The carrots can also be cut in sticks as they are prepared for eating raw. For cooking make the sticks less than two inches long. can you say betacarotene...so amazingly nutritious....
** believe it or not, these are a lovely accompaniment to chicken wings.
