Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound carrots, sliced
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place carrots in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes or until preserves are melted and carrots are coated.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are woody or have blemishes.
  • Peel the carrots: Peeling the carrots will help the glaze adhere better. You can use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to peel the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into rounds, slices, or chunks.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the carrots without being too runny. If the glaze is too thin, it will not adhere to the carrots and will not caramelize properly.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.
  • Add the cranberries at the end: The cranberries should be added at the very end of the cooking process so that they do not overcook and become mushy.

Conclusion:

Apricot-Orange Glazed Carrots with Cranberries is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are roasted until tender and then glazed with a sweet and tangy apricot-orange glaze. The cranberries add a festive touch and a pop of tartness.
