Glazed Carrots



This recipe is for my brother, who came home from living in Australia for two years with a taste for glazed carrots. I toyed with the recipe with honey and sugar and could never get it right. I found this recipe and modified it to my liking. Let's see how it goes.

8-10 carrots, peeled and cut into slices
2 Tbl. butter
1/ tsp. salt
1 cup ginger ale

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the carrots and then the ginger ale. Cover and bring to a simmer. Stir and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat to high and cook until the ginger ale is reduced to a glaze (about 5 minutes). Enjoy with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. Perfect for those upcoming Thanksgiving feasts.
