GLAZED BABY CARROTS WITH THYME
This is adapted from one of Canadian LIving's Best Recipes Ever. It is a lot faster to make than some of the slow cooked glazed carrot recipes. We had these for dinner one night with rice, peas and sweet & sour ribs. They would be great to serve dinner guests. They will think you spent ages working on the dish, when in reality you only need to stir them several times near the end of cooking. If you have children who will look at the carrots & say "What are those funny leaves in there? I AM NOT EATING THAT" just leave the thyme out. You could use dried thyme leaves or ground thyme if you want to, just reduce the amount to about 1/2 tsp ground, or 3/4 - 1 tsp dried leaves. I think this would be great with some lemon thyme in the summer. If you use fresh thyme, garnish your serving dish with a whole sprig of thyme. I hope you enjoy them.

Steps:
- 1. Trim and wash the carrots, leaving a little of the green tops on so they look pretty.
- 2. Melt the butter and the dripping, if you've got it, in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Crush the unpeeled garlic cloves with the flat side of your knife, then add to the pan, turning after 1 minute. 3. Sprinkle in the thyme sprigs (they'll crackle a bit), squeeze in the clementine juice and add the honey, bay and a splash of water. 4. Add the carrots, sprinkle with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then jiggle the pan to coat them in all that flavour. 5. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. 6. When the time's up, uncover the pan and, being very vigilant, simply reduce the moisture away until you get a beautiful clementine glaze and the carrots start to catch and caramelize in a lovely way, turning often. 7. Once you think they look great, simply serve straight away, or you can remove them from the heat and crack on with your other jobs, reheating them when needed. Delicious.

Steps:
- Over medium-high heat, add butter to a large pan and fry carrots for about 5 minutes. While carrots are cooking, combine the broth, honey, sherry, garlic, mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in liquid mixture, bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper. Throw in a bunch of fresh thyme sprigs (and I just leave them whole!) reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Uncover, and raise heat to medium-high, cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until carrots are tender. Bring temperature to high heat if you find you still have a lot of liquid in your pan after 8 minutes. You still want some liquid, but not where it is soupy.
- Remove thyme sprigs and serve beside your main dish!
