- Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots.

HONEY & GINGER GLAZED CARROTS
A delicious glaze over boiled carrots. Makes a simple veggie a little special. The carrots can be steamed or microwaved until cooked. The glaze is prepared separately and poured over the cooked carrots to coat. You can either slice your carrots or use whole baby carrots, If you're not a ginger fan then you can use garlic in place of the ginger. If you have an Italian style dish the garlic can be a good substitute for the ginger called for in this recipe

GINGERED CARROTS
I first made this original recipe about 40 years ago, and it hasn't failed me yet. The thing I like about the dish is that it isn't plain. The flavorings dress up an "ordinary" vegetable, and put some real zip in any meal! This is an easy, quick dish to make, and it adds a splash of color to your table.

Steps:
- In a kettle cover carrots with salted water by 2 inches and boil, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes.
- While carrots are cooking, cook honey, butter, and gingerroot over moderate heat, stirring, until butter is melted.
- Drain carrots well and in a bowl toss with honey glaze and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for firm, brightly colored carrots that are free of blemishes. Smaller carrots are generally sweeter and more tender than larger ones.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. For best results, use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for each 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will not cook evenly and will become mushy. Cook the carrots in batches if necessary.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the carrots, or they will become mushy. They should still have a slight crunch to them when you bite into them.
- Add honey and butter to taste: The amount of honey and butter you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
