Honey Carrots with Currants Recipe

Honey Carrots with Currants Recipe

  • 1 1/4 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick sticks, each 3 to 4 inches long
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons dried currants
  • 3 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Mango Chutney, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Homestyle Orange Juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
  • Salt
  1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan, bring 1 1/4 cups water to boiling; add carrots, honey, and lemon juice. Stir often until carrots are barely tender to bite, about 3 minutes. Drain carrots, reserving liquid. Put carrots in a serving bowl; set aside.
  2. Return liquid to pan and boil over high heat, uncovered, until only about 1/4 cup liquid remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add currants; stir until mixture begins to caramelize and currants puff, about 1 minute. Stir in chutney and orange juice, then pour sauce over carrots. Mix gently, then sprinkle with orange peel and serve. Add salt to taste.
