Cider-Glazed Carrots Recipe

Cider-Glazed Carrots Recipe

  • 2 pounds medium carrots (about 12), peeled
  • 1 cup unfiltered apple cider
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, or to taste
  1. Cut out a round of wax paper to fit just inside a 12-inch heavy skillet, then butter 1 side of round.
  2. Cut a 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slice from a carrot, then roll carrot away from you 90 degrees and cut another 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slice (shape will resemble a trapezoidal log). Continue rolling and cutting carrot, then cut remaining carrots in same manner.
  3. Add carrots to skillet with cider, water, butter bits, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then cover with wax-paper round (buttered side down) and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid has evaporated and carrots are tender and glazed, about 50 minutes.
