Ingredients

1 pound baby carrots
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry sherry if you're cooking for kids, you can leave this out
Salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the carrots in a medium saucepan and pour over enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the honey, brown sugar, and sherry. When the brown sugar has dissolved, stir in the carrots. Cook for 3 minutes, until the carrots are hot and glazed. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
