Glazed Baby Carrots With Thyme image

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.

I couldn't find thyme at the store, so I used rosemary instead. It was still delicious!

The carrots took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add some extra water to the pan.

These carrots were a bit too oily for my taste.

The glaze was a bit too thick for my liking. I'll try thinning it out next time.

The carrots were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

Delicious! I used a bit less butter and sugar than the recipe called for, and they were still plenty flavorful. The thyme really shines through.
