Carrots with an Orange and Apple Cider Glaze

Carrots and apple cider are a perfect combination. A bit of orange juice, fresh thyme and a little bit of butter to finish the sauce make these carrots so tasty.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoon good olive oil
3 cups baby carrots
¼ cup orange juice
1 cup apple cider
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of butter

Directions:

Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and saute until the carrots start to brown just a little.

Add the orange juice, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme and the cup of apple cider. Bring up to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer stirring occassionally for about 15 minutes until carrots are fork tender and the liquid is reduced to glaze. Add the remaining teaspoon of fresh thyme, the teaspoon of butter and stir to finish the sauce.

Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve hot.
