Apricot Glazed Carrots
Apricot Glazed Carrots are a perfect vegetarian side dish to almost any meal. They're tender, sweet and make for a beautiful presentation.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds large carrots
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2½ tablespoons apricot jam
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or scallions chives for garnish, washed and dried (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots. Peel and cut the carrots into approximately ½ inch slices, diagonally.
- Combine the ingredients. Add the carrots to a large sauté pan and pour the stock over them. Evenly distribute the butter, jam, and the salt on top.
- Cook. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the carrots simmer until they're tender and the liquid has reduced almost completely, about 35 minutes. During the cooking process, move the carrots a few times to be sure they're well coated with the liquid.
- Garnish. If desired, garnish with finely chopped chives or scallions.
