Local, Colorful, Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey glazed carrots are a favorite at our farm, in the spring when the carrots are small and tender, and in the fall when they reappear like little jewels in the garden. I especially love cooking a variety of carrot colors at a time, from deep ruby reds to sunny yellow, making this recipe irresistible to my family.
Adding local, raw honey is not only sweetly delicious, but it can help with seasonal allergies if taken daily.
