Carrots A La Sidecar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

24 fresh baby carrots, peeled
2 -3 tablespoons real butter
2 ounces honey
3 ounces lemon juice
1 ounce Cointreau liqueur
2 ounces brandy
fresh parsley

Preparation

Peel the carrots and cook them in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes or until just tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Stir in the honey, then mix in the lemon juice, Cointreau, and brandy. Simmer gently, then keep warm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Transfer the carrots to an oven-proof casserole and pour the \"Sidecar\" sauce over them.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 min, turning them occasionally in the sauce until it starts to glaze.
*Note: You could substitute Triple Sec for the Cointreau, or even substitute orange juice for the Cointreau and double the brandy.
