Glazed Carrots With Bacon And Pecans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 slices)
    1/3 cup chopped pecans
    1 lb carrot, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick on the bias (about 6 medium)
    1/2 teaspoon table salt
    3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
    1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
    1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, minced
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    ground black pepper
Preparation
    Cook the bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp.
    Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
    Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the pan.
    Add the pecans and cook about 3 minutes.
    Transfer the pecans to the plate with the bacon.
    Add the carrots, salt, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, chicken broth, and thyme to the skillet.
    Bring to a boil, covered, over medium-high heat.
    Reduce heat to medium and simmer, about 5 minutes.
    Uncover, increase the heat to high, and simmer rapidly, 1 to 2 minutes.
    Add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the skillet. Toss the carrots to coat and cook, about 3 minutes.
    Off heat, add the lemon juice and toss to coat.
    Transfer the carrots to a serving dish, scraping the glaze from the pan into the dish.
    Season to taste with pepper, sprinkle the bacon and pecans on top.
    Serve immediately.
