Glazed Carrots with Ginger and Rosemary
Glazed carrots
are a good accompaniment to roasts of any kind--beef, pork, lamb, or poultry. A
nonstick skillet is easier to clean, but this recipe can be prepared in any
12-inch skillet with a cover.

Bring carrots, ginger, salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and chicken broth to boil,
covered, in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; reduce heat to
medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are almost tender when
poked with tip of paring knife, about 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to
high, and simmer rapidly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to
about 2 tablespoons, 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter, rosemary and remaining 2
tablespoons sugar to skillet; toss carrots to coat and cook, stirring
frequently, until carrots are completely tender and glaze is light gold, about
3 minutes. Off heat, add lemon juice; toss to coat. Transfer carrots to serving
dish, scraping glaze from pan. Season to taste with pepper and serve
immediately.
