HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS
These sweet, citrusy carrots are an ideal accompaniment to savory, hearty main dishes, like Ebony's stewed chicken and dumplings from the magazine's first food editor, Freda DeKnight. This adaptation streamlines the usage of a pot and baking dish in the original and requires only a single ovenproof skillet. The dish tastes just the same and reflects Ms. DeKnight's commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrants flavors in her cooking.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Fill an ovenproof skillet that can fit the carrots with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots and add more water if needed to cover the carrots. Reduce the heat to simmer the carrots until they're tender but not soft, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the water out of the skillet, keeping the carrots in the skillet by holding them back with a spatula. Add the juice, honey and butter to the skillet and stir to mix (the butter may not melt all the way). Roll the carrots in the mixture, season them with salt and transfer to the oven.
- Bake, gently rolling the carrots once, until the carrots are glazed, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender snap peas and carrots. Look for snap peas that are bright green and have a crisp snap when you break them. Carrots should be firm and smooth, with no blemishes.
- Trim the snap peas and carrots. Remove the ends of the snap peas and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces.
- Blanch the snap peas and carrots. This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the vegetables and rinse them with cold water.
- Make the honey glaze. Combine honey, butter, soy sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Toss the snap peas and carrots with the glaze. Add the blanched snap peas and carrots to the saucepan with the glaze. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Serve immediately. Honey-glazed snap peas and carrots are best served hot or warm.
