Maple Glazed Spiced Carrots

So I've made carrots before - and I think I burnt them....these were actually better and super easy to make!  The spices all came together to make it super yummy!  I'm totally not a fan of eating carrots - unless they are hard...so I've never really like cooked carrots, but try this out - it's super good!!
Serves 2 - Bride and Groom Cookbook
Ingredients:
3 medium carrots (about 8oz total); peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4 inch thick slices
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Combine the carrots, water, butter, maple syrup, the 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice, the curry powder, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a small nonstick saucepan over high heat.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.  Reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid has reduced to a glaze and the carrots are tender, about 8 minutes.  Just before serving, adjust seasoning by adding more lemon juice and salt if necessary.
