Ingredients
 

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt optional
  • 1 pound fresh baby carrots
  • 1/3 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or a nice smoky mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • chopped fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • In a 2-quart saucepan, add 1-inch water and the kosher salt, if using.
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Bring the water to a boil and add the baby carrots.
    1 pound fresh baby carrots
  • Return the water to a boil once again, then turn the heat to medium-low.
  • Simmer the carrots for 10 minutes or until they are just nicely tender (al dente) when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the carrots and return them to the saucepan. Add the marmalade, butter, mustard, and nutmeg.
    1/3 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1-2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Gently toss the hot carrots with the added ingredients until well coated.
  • Simmer the carrots over low heat for 1-2 minutes or until nicely glazed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve at once.

Notes

  1. Leftovers will keep safely for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Reheat any leftovers in the microwave, covered, for 30-60 seconds, tossing half way through.
  2. If you are using full-size carrots (instead of the baby carrots) for this side dish, it works best to peel the carrots, then cut them into 1/2-inch slices. Be sure the slices are all the same size so they cook evenly until tender.
  3. Cooking the carrots just until al-dente is the perfect doneness to ensure they aren't mushy from being over cooked.
