Sunshine State Carrots Recipes

SUNSHINE CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a small pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes or until carrots can easily be speared by a fork. Drain. 5 minutes before carrots are finished cooking, in a separate pot, combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, orange juice, sugar, ginger and butter. Mix well and cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water. Whisk cornstarch mixture to ginger mixture and whisk until mixture thickens. Pour over drained carrots and gently toss. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice carrots diagonally, about 1-inch thick. Place in covered 1 1/2-quart glass casserole with water. Cook on HIGH in microwave for 8 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking time. Drain. Meanwhile, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and ginger in a small saucepan. Add orange juice; cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and bubbles. Boil 1 minute. Stir in butter. Pour over hot carrots, tossing to coat evenly. If you do not have a microwave, cook carrots covered in a small amount of boiling salted water until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Even Easier: I also tried this with 2 cans of carrots. Microwave only 2 minutes to warm, then drain and add sauce. Beta carotene never tasted so good.
