Orange-Glazed Carrots

 Do you remember these? Those lovely glazed carrots your Mom served with holiday meals? I do. And I loved them! This recipe is about as old school as it gets.

  • 2 lbs baby carrots
  • 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (no pulp)
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 c water

  1. Combine all but the cornstarch and water in a slow cooker
  2. Cook on low for 3-4 hours until carrots are tender, reserving the juices
  3. Place the juices in a saucepan and mix with the cornstarch and water
  4. Add juices as needed to get to the consistency you like.

Want to amp it up? Add in some currants and slivered almonds!
