Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

Easy and delicious!

Ingredients:

- 1 lb baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- toasted pecans (optional)

Directions:

Wash the carrots under cold running water.

Combine the carrots, butter, brown sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend the ingredients thoroughly.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue boiling, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the liquid has evaporated. Check and stir frequently to avoid scorching. Add more water, as needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

If desired, stir in 1/2 cup of toasted pecans before serving.
