Ingredients:
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Carrots, fresh, peeled, sliced diagonally
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, fresh squeezed, seeds removed or lemon juice, bottled
- 1 teaspoon Parsley, dried (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Margarine, unsalted, trans-fat free
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger, fresh, grated
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt, table
Directions:
- Add about 1-2 inches of water to a small stockpot with a steamer basket or a double boiler. Bring water to a rolling boil.
- Add carrots to the steamer basket or double boiler and cook until carrots are tender, but not mushy, about 9-10 minutes. Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
- Prepare ginger glaze while carrots are cooking by combining the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Pour hot steamed carrots into the ginger glaze and stir until honey and margarine melt.
- Serve 1/4 cup.
NOTE: The critical control point is to hold the temperature at 140 °F or higher.
