  • 3 cups julienned fresh carrots
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider or juice
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute carrots in butter for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Stir in the cider, water and mustard. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender. Uncover and cook 3 minutes longer. Stir to coat carrots with the glaze.
