Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

I’ve never been a big fan of cooked carrots, unless they were in a roast.  My mother used to make glazed carrots occassionally when I was a kid, and I remember having like them because of the sweetness, so I thought I’d give them a shot.  I’m trying to broaden my repertoire of side items, and this one seems to be a good fit.  I hope you enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb bag of baby carrots
• 3 TBSP of Splenda Brown Sugar mix
• 1 TBSP honey
• 2 TBSP of light butter or margarine (50 cal per tbsp)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Place carrots into a large saucepan, with enough water to cover them about halfway. Bring pot to a boil, and reduce to a simmer.  Simmer carrots, covered, for about 10-12 minutes. (You could also steam them if you prefer)
2. Remove carrots from pan and set aside. Melt butter in the saucepan; stir brown sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon into butter until brown sugar is melted.
3. Stir Carrots into sauce and allow everything to cook together about 5 minutes, stirring throughout.
