Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup whiskey, such as Jack Daniel's
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaf
1/4 cup whiskey
water
2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into rounds or 2 lbs thin sticks

Steps:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mustard, salt, pepper, maple syrup, garlic and rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and slowly stir in the whiskey. Return the pan to the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Set aside but keep in a warm place.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until just tender, for about 5 minutes. Drain the carrots, then return them to the saucepan. Add the glaze and toss gently to coat.

Tips:

- Use fresh carrots for the best flavor. - Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. - If you don't have honey, you can substitute another liquid sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. - Use a good quality whiskey for the glaze. A smoky whiskey will add a nice depth of flavor. - Simmer the carrots in the glaze for at least 15 minutes, or until they are tender. - Serve the carrots immediately, while they are still warm.

Whiskey glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and slightly smoky, and they are sure to please everyone at your table. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy carrots, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
