Orange Honey-Glazed Carrots

Tried a new recipe from the "Home Cooking - the Costco Way".  I'm usually not a fan of "cooked" carrots - but this was actually really good!  The oranges were a fun twist - and it made it seem normal to eat soft carrots.  (That was always my defense strategy when I was younger....I only ate hard carrots!)

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1lb carrots

4 paramount Citrus oranges, divided

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons butter

salt and pepper

Peel carrots (I used baby carrots) and slice crosswise into coins.  Grate the zest of 2 oranges - peel and cut them into segments.  Set aside.

Juice the remaining 2 oranges, to make 3/4 cup of juice.  In a large saute pan - combine the carrots and orange juice.  Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the carrots are fork-tender.  Add honey, orange segments, and the grated zest.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cold butter.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Serve immediately.
