Tips:
- Select baby carrots of uniform size: This will help them cook evenly.
- Peel the carrots if desired: Peeling is optional, but it will give the carrots a more polished look.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and are more likely to hold their shape during cooking.
- Make sure the cranberry sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the carrots, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
- Glaze the carrots while they are still hot: This will help the glaze adhere to the carrots.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Glazed carrots are best served warm, so it's best to make them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Cranberry-glazed baby carrots are a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your carrots sweet, tangy, or somewhere in between, this recipe is sure to please.
