Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

Originally posted in 2008, during my one-year slow cooking challenge, these honey and cinnamon glazed carrots have been enjoyed dozens of times by my family and thousands of times by readers all over the world.

I forget about them during the year and only seem to remember to make them during a holiday dinner but these carrots are so tasty you will want to make them no matter the occasion: Easter, Thanksgiving, Wednesday, etc. :-)

Honey and Cinnamon Glazed Carrots

serves 8 to 10 as a side dish

The Ingredients.

4 cups of baby carrots (or fresh carrots, peeled and chopped in 2-inch chunks)

1/2 cup of orange juice

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 4-quart slow cooker.

I threw everything in together and cooked on high for 4 hours. When the time was up, I stirred to distribute the spices.

Very easy. If you have a longer slot of time to fill, cook on low--checking at about 6 hours. I like my carrots al dente, without any mush---but I know a lot of people like them softer.

The Verdict.

These were perfectly cooked and the flavor was fantastic. There was a hint of sweetness without being too sicky sweet.

The kids gobbled them up eagerly.

This would be a great take-a-long to a family dinner, or to serve with a holiday meal.

enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!
