This tangy, fruity side dish looks beautiful served hot out of the oven. If you don't want to heat up the oven, the carrots are pretty good simply simmered for 5 minutes in the sauce.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package baby carrots

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup apricot preserves

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • ¼ cup sliced, dried apricots

  • ¼ cup golden raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Bring carrots and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and steam until the carrots are just tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, stir together the apricot preserves, cornstarch, dried apricots, and raisins in a saucepan. Place over medium heat, and cook until the mixture bubbles, thickens, and turns clear, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Once the carrots have cooked, drain, and stir into the apricot preserves. Pour into a baking dish, and bake in preheated oven until the sauce has thickened further, and turned light brown, about 15 minutes.
