Sweet Gingered Carrots

Yummy flavors, orange and ginger combined with the sweetness of cooked carrots.  These can be made ahead of time and reheated without losing their flavor.

7-8 Medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons butter
Chopped Parsley, optional

Slice your carrots into 1/4-inch thick round disks or ovals.  Cook in boiling salted water, covered for about 7 minutes or until just tender.  Drain and set aside.

Combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and ginger in a small saucepan.  Add orange juice and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.  Boil for 1 full minute before adding butter.  Pour over hot carrots and toss.  For added color, garnish with chopped parsley.
