Maple Whiskey Glazed Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
• Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring carrots and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Stir in the butter, syrup and pecans until the butter is melted.

Steps:

• Place carrots into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer carrots to a serving bowl.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir maple syrup into melted butter and cook until warmed, 1 to 2 more minutes. Pour butter-maple syrup over carrots and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the baby carrots along with some salt and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a small saute pan, add the butter, whisky and maple syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat to a strong simmer and let the mixture reduce until thick and syrupy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots and saute them until well glazed and just starting to color, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the carrots into batons. (You can do this up to 24 hours ahead and keep them in a polythene bag in the fridge.) Tip them into a pan, pour in enough boiling water just to cover, bring back to the boil, then put a lid on the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the carrots are just tender.
• Meanwhile, put the butter and maple syrup in a small pan. Heat until the butter is melted then stir in the mustard. Take off the heat. Drain the carrots and tip into a warmed serving dish.
• Pour the warm maple glaze over the carrots. Taste and adjust seasoning to suit.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
• Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

Steps:

• Peel carrots and then slice into 1/2 inch buttons.
• In a sauce pan, melt butter with maple syrup and salt.
• Bring down to a simmer, add carrots and cover.
• Let cook until desired softness (about 20-25 minutes).
