Steps:
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
- To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
- So good for my eyes!

BABY CARROTS WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE
Steps:
- In a large skillet with a tightly fitting lid, combine the carrots, honey, salt, pepper, ginger and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add cup water to the pan and bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the carrots, reserving the liquid, and transfer the carrots to a platter and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, puree 1 cup of the raspberries in a blender and pass through a fine mesh strainer or a food mill. Discard the solids. Pour the puree into a small pot and add 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the reserved liquid from the carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Now, place the remaining tablespoon of butter and teaspoon of sugar in a small skillet set over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the remaining 1/2 cup of raspberries and saute until the berries are just softened, about 30 seconds. Spoon the reduced sauce over the carrots, garnish with the sauteed berries, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Select baby carrots that are about 2-3 inches long and have a uniform thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Wash the carrots thoroughly: Scrub the carrots under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Peel the carrots, if desired: Peeling the carrots is optional, but it will give them a more refined appearance. If you choose to peel them, use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin outer layer of skin.
- Trim the carrots: Trim the ends of the carrots to remove any blemishes or woody stems.
- Make the glaze: Combine the cranberry sauce, orange juice, honey, butter, and spices in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Glaze the carrots: Add the carrots to the saucepan with the glaze and stir to coat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and glazed.
- Serve immediately: Cranberry-glazed baby carrots are best served warm. Enjoy them as a side dish or appetizer.
