Ingredients

1.5 pounds carrots (peeled, trimmed and cut into 1.5 inch pieces)

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

Place all ingredients in a 3.5 - 4 quart slow cooker.
Cook on HIGH for 3 hours, or until the carrots are tender. Lightly shake the crockpot WITHOUT removing the lid as soon as the butter has melted (about 15-30 minutes into cooking), to make sure the carrots are all coated.
To thicken the glaze, remove the lid and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.

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

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots (peeled and cut into 1-2 inch chunks)
1/4 cup salted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar (or raw sugar)
1 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Mexican Pure Vanilla Extract
parsley (fresh, chopped (to garnish) or sage)

Steps:

Peel and slice the carrots. I tend to like the thicker chunks of carrot, so don't go too crazy, just roughly chopped is fine. Set side.
In a small saucepan add the butter. Turn the heat to medium or just above medium. Stir occasionally until the butter starts to foam and ultimately turns brown. There will be silty brown "bits" that have separated from the yellow liquid. Immediately transfer the mixture to your slow cooker.
Add the salt, sugar, bay leaves, and vanilla and stir. Add the carrots and stir to coat.
Cook on high for about 3 hours or until tender.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or sage.
The glaze is really great drizzled over mashed potatoes too...just sayin.
