Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Julienne 1 pound of carrots into thin matchstick pieces.

Step 2.
Place the julienned carrots in a medium saucepan and add 1 inch of water. Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook until the carrots are tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander.

Step 3.
While the carrots cook, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons apricot preserves, and 2 teaspoons honey. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4.
Pour the warm apricot-honey glaze over the drained carrots and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
