Honey Glazed Carrots

I have this mild obsession with wanting to cook new (baby) carrots whenever I see them at the farmer's market. And we're not talking the baby carrots that I grew up with from a plastic bag to be dunked in ranch dressing. They're petite and bright orange with a vibrant green stalk, and they're so aesthetically pleasing it almost doesn't matter that they taste so good. But they do, and add a little butter and honey to create a nice, smooth glaze...just go ahead and try it. I know you'll like 'em.


Ingredients
1 bunch new carrots
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. honey
Salt


Directions
1. Shave carrots with a vegetable peeler and cut stalks, leaving just a little bit on top. Wash thoroughly to ensure all the dirt is gone.
2. Place carrots in a pot filled with enough salted water to cover them.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and boil for five minutes.
4. Drain carrots and return to pot.
5. Add butter and honey. Saute for another five minutes or until butter and honey have coated carrots and begun to thicken.
6. Remove from heat and serve.
