Steps:
- Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
- Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mustard, salt, pepper, maple syrup, garlic and rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and slowly stir in the whiskey. Return the pan to the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Set aside but keep in a warm place.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until just tender, for about 5 minutes. Drain the carrots, then return them to the saucepan. Add the glaze and toss gently to coat.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or cracks. Avoid carrots that are too large or have a lot of green on the top.
- Peel the carrots before cooking. This will help the glaze to adhere to the carrots and will also make them easier to eat.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the carrots, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender. You can test this by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the carrots are done.
- Add the glaze to the carrots while they are still hot. This will help the glaze to stick to the carrots and will also create a delicious caramelized flavor.
- Serve the carrots immediately. Whiskey-glazed carrots are best served hot, so don't let them sit around for too long before eating them.
Conclusion:
Whiskey-glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and have a slight boozy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to dress up your carrots, give this recipe a try.
