Citrus Rainbow Carrots

Description

I grow lots of carrots and I’m always experimenting with ways to serve them. The first time I made this citrusy recipe for my husband, he said it tasted like Christmas! Although he calls them my "Christmas carrots," they're tasty anytime; I especially like serving them at Easter, with the array of carrots available in early spring. It's easy to prepare, and can easily be doubled to serve a large group. To save time, I sometimes cut up the carrots several days in advance.

Ingredient:

  • 2 pounds medium rainbow or regular carrots, diagonally sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
