how do I cook thee? let me carrot the ways . . .
there's the concept of glazed carrots - this implies a bit of sweetness....
julienne the carrots - parboil about 8-10 minutes
drain, leave 1 tbsp water
add real maple syrup (fake stuff does not work....)
continue to cook
as the bubbles get smaller the maple syrup has thickened and coated the carrots.
the trick to this method is not to overcook them in the parboil stage.
the temp of a sugar syrup goes up dramatically as it thickens - one does not want to turn the carrot strips to mush.....
