Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
In a large saucepan, add the chopped carrots and enough water to cover them by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the carrots for 15-20 minutes or until they are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the carrots are cooking, soak the dried cranberries in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
Drain the cooked carrots completely and transfer them to a large mixing bowl or food processor.
Add the unsalted butter, honey, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground black pepper to the cooked carrots.
Using a hand mixer or food processor, whip the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Fold in the softened dried cranberries, ensuring even distribution.
Transfer the whipped carrots to a serving dish and garnish with a few extra dried cranberries on top if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
