Honeyed Carrots

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped carrots

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• ¼ teaspoon grated lemon rind

• ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Method

1. Bring one cup of water to a boil in a one-quart saucepan. Add the carrots, cover, lower the heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Drain and set aside.

2. In the same pan, add the honey, lemon juice, lemon rind and mustard. Bring to a boil. Add the carrots back into the pan and combine well, making sure the carrots are coated with the honey sauce.

3. Cover the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook the carrots with the sauce for 3 minutes or until the carrots are heated through and covered with the sauce.
