Ingredients

3 pounds carrots, peeled and cut 1/2-inch thick on a bias
1 1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Slow cook the carrots: Place the carrots into your slow cooker. Add the water and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cover and cook the carrots on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the water from the carrots and return them to the slow cooker.
Add the glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining salt, butter, honey, Dijon mustard, sage, and black pepper until they are blended well. Pour the honey-Dijon mustard glaze over the carrots. Toss the carrots in the glaze to coat evenly. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Reduce the slow cooker's temperature to warm. The carrots are now ready to serve, or you can cover them and hold on warm anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.

These carrots are yummy and so simple. The recipe is from my mom, who tweaked it a bit to suit her tastes. You can make this dish a day in advance and refrigerate until needed. Then just reheat it in the slow cooker right before the party. -Julie Puderbaugh, Berwick, PA
