Tangerine Carrots Recipes

MAPLE- AND TANGERINE-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil until sauce thickens and coats spoon thickly and is reduced to 2/3 cup, whisking occasionally, about 8 minutes.
• Steam carrots until just crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Mix carrots and cayenne pepper into sauce. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Simmer carrots in sauce over medium heat until heated through and sauce reduces to thick glaze, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Squeeze juice from tangerine half over. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

TANGERINE-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Simmer 2 pounds carrots (cut into chunks) in a skillet with 1/4 cup cider vinegar, the juice of 6 tangerines and 2 teaspoons salt until the carrots are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with pepper and stir in 2 tablespoons butter. Top with sliced scallions.

TANGERINE-GLAZED EASTER HAM WITH BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time to bang-out the tangerine glaze.
• For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.
• After the ham has been going for a couple of hours, pour the tangerine glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for 11/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.
• Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the tangerine glaze. Stick the ham once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.
• Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and tangerine glaze on the side.

LEMON AND TANGERINE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Combine carrots, apple juice, butter, brown sugar, lemon peel, tangerine peel, and salt in a slow-cooker. Stir to blend. Cover and cook on low for four to five hours or on high for one to three hours. Garnish with parsley.

BIG SUR CARROT TANGERINE BREAD

• Grease and flour 2 bread pans.
• In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• Beat eggs and sugar until thick and light colored.
• Add oil and beat hard until volume is doubled.
• Add vanilla, tangerine juice and zest;
• fold in grated carrots.
• Stir dry ingredients into wet and continue stirring until smooth and well combined.
• You may enhance the flavor by adding ½ cup: shredded coconut, diced dry apricots, raisins or nuts (finely chopped).
• Fill pans no more than 2/3 full and bake 50-60 minutes.
• Let stand in pans for 10 minutes - cool on sides completely.
• Wrap tightly in plastic or place in air-tight plastic bag and let stand at room temperature overnight before slicing - this will retain moistness and extend life. Enjoy!
