Autumn Rum-Glazed Carrots Recipe

submitted by reader Mary J. Lewis of Eatonton, GA

Ingredients

½ cup butter or margarine
3 pounds whole medium carrots, trimmed (about 16 carrots)
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup dark rum
¼ cup raisins
½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and toss to coat. Cook until just tender and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
2. Combine brown sugar, rum, raisins, and pepper in a bowl; mix well. Pour evenly over carrots. Reduce heat to low and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon into a bowl and serve hot. Serves 8.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
TIPS FROM OUR TEST KITCHEN: Substitute 2 to 4 teaspoons rum extract or 1/2 cup apple juice for the rum if desired. The carrots should remain whole while cooking for peak flavors, texture, and presentation. Use two utensils, such as a fork and spoon, and turn the carrots gently.
