Orange Ginger Carrots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb baby carrots
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 1/2 teaspoons butter

Preparation

Slice each baby carrot into 2 or 3 pieces, then place in a 1 quart casserole dish with 1/4 cup water; cover and cook on high power 10 minutes or until tender.
While carrots are cooking, combine sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and ginger in a small saucepan; add orange juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.

If there is any water left in the carrots, pour it off, then pour sauce over carrots, tossing to coat evenly.
