Orange-Honey Glazed Carrots

Seeing as this month is apparently "Good Recipes from Cookbooks", I thought I'd share one of the first recipes that I ever learned.  It is from "Cooked Up by Kids" from The Virginia Children's Hospital at Fairfax Hospital.  I've had this book for a very long time, so it's certainly seen better days.  Even though it is aimed at kids, it doesn't make the recipes any less delicious!

Ingredients:
6 carrots
3 T butter or margarine
1 T  honey
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 T fresh parsley, minced

Equipment:
Cutting board
Vegetable peeler
A saucepan with lid
knife
measuring implements

Directions:
1. Wash and peel the carrots.  Slice them into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Place the carrots, along with the orange juice, butter, honey, and salt.
3. Cover and cook over low heat until the carrots are tender.  Should be about 20 minutes.
4. Once carrots are tender, uncover and cook slowly until the juice is mostly gone.
5. Stir until the carrots are glazed with the butter/honey mixture.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle parsley over carrots.

Serve as the side to a all kinds of things.  Makes enough for a family of four, although the recipe should double nicely.

Possible Alterations:
I can't think of anything that I would do to make this recipe better.  It's simple and to the point.  If you think of anything, however, I would love to hear from you!

Good eats, and happy gaming!
