Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Raspberry Chambord liqueur
- 3 tbsp raspberry preserves
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh raspberries (optional for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick for uniform cooking.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and let it dissolve, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the Raspberry Chambord liqueur, raspberry preserves, and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the carrots.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring gently to incorporate the seasoning.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of finely chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and tangy side dish with your favorite main course.
