Adapted from the Nov 09 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. The flavor of ginger with the slight sweetness of maple syrup was wonderful. The tiny bit of cider vinegar cuts the sweetness, and really enhances the flavor.

GINGER-GLAZED CARROTS
The easiest, yummiest carrots you will ever eat! The recipe is just so quick and easy to make. My husband grew up hating carrots, but he is willing to try anything. When he tasted these, he asked, "What in the world did my mother do to carrots to make them so bad? These are delicious!" He now requests them ... usually about twice a week.
