ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS
From the "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. Carrots that are not bagged are always sweeter than the bagged kind. "As vegetables go, carrots tend to be sweet, so I decided to add honey to bring out the sweetness and ginger to balance it with spice. Freshly grated orange zest gives the dish depth." This recipe is easily doubled etc. just use a larger sauté pan. The carrots may take a little longer to cook.

Steps:
- Place an inch of water in a saucepan and add carrots.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots. For this recipe, it's best to use young, tender carrots. They'll cook more quickly and evenly.
- Peel and slice the carrots evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many carrots to the pan, they won't cook evenly.

- Keep the heat on medium-high. This will help the carrots cook quickly and evenly.
- Stir the carrots occasionally. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the carrots. They should be tender, but still have a slight crunch.
- Add the peach-orange glaze at the end of cooking. This will help the glaze adhere to the carrots.
- Serve the carrots immediately. They're best when served warm.
