Bourbon ginger glazed carrots recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound baby carrots, sliced lengthwise in half, or large carrots (about 5) sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 orange juice
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the carrots and sauté for about 6 minutes, until slightly softened.
2. Add the brown sugar and ginger and cook, stirring, until the brown sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan by stirring in the bourbon and orange juice.
3. Cook until the carrots are fork-tender and the liquid is reduced and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper to taste and serve.
