Grandma’s Carrot Glaze


Here is my Grandma’s secret to making sure we ate up all our carrots (not that her little garden carrots weren’t sweet enough!).  I found my Grandma’s little recipe book!  A treasure it is.  Like a memory journal as dinner at our Grandparents was always a weekly joy.

This is an easy glaze to make to toss any steamed vegetable in but what I remember was the lovely pretty glazed orange carrots!  Be adventurous cut the carrots in shapes, try long julienne style carrots, carrot wedges or  mini-carrots.  Make veggies fun to eat and delicious.

Combine in a saucepan:

  • 2 Tablespooons brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon white corn syrup

Add carrots and heat until carrots are all glazed.

  • Season with salt and pepper
  • Garnish with chopped parsley

Perfect for about 2 cups of carrots (diced, chopped, slivered, wedged, shaped etc.)
