GLAZED CARROTS WITH THYME
Cooking carrots in a bit of water, butter, and sugar brings out their delicate flavor and coats them with a thin glaze. Instead of baby carrots, you can substitute medium carrots, cut into thin slices. Dill or parsley would work here as well.

GLAZED BABY CARROTS WITH THYME
This is adapted from one of Canadian LIving's Best Recipes Ever. It is a lot faster to make than some of the slow cooked glazed carrot recipes. We had these for dinner one night with rice, peas and sweet & sour ribs. They would be great to serve dinner guests. They will think you spent ages working on the dish, when in reality you only need to stir them several times near the end of cooking. If you have children who will look at the carrots & say "What are those funny leaves in there? I AM NOT EATING THAT" just leave the thyme out. You could use dried thyme leaves or ground thyme if you want to, just reduce the amount to about 1/2 tsp ground, or 3/4 - 1 tsp dried leaves. I think this would be great with some lemon thyme in the summer. If you use fresh thyme, garnish your serving dish with a whole sprig of thyme. I hope you enjoy them.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh thyme and garlic. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
- If you don't have a vegetable peeler, you can use a sharp knife to peel the carrots.
- To make the glaze, you can use either honey or maple syrup. If you're using honey, make sure it's liquid honey. If it's crystallized, you can warm it in the microwave for a few seconds until it liquefies.
- Be careful not to overcook the carrots. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the carrots immediately, while they're still hot and glazed.
