I was first introduced to the ginger, honey and carrot combo in college. When my folks would come up for football games they would stay outside town at this little bed and breakfast. They also served dinner on Friday nights. One Friday night, they served a variation on these carrots. It became a family favorite. They sold us this Junior League cookbook, where the owner had gotten the recipe. I have no idea where that cookbook ended up through the years but I have continued to cook these carrots. The recipes have changed and morphed over the years into what it is today. And, its delicious. Such a great way to eat carrots! Enjoy.

 Local Ingredient: Honey purchased at my local grocery store where they stock local products. 

  • Cut the Carrots Lengthwise

  • Add just enough water to cover the carrots

  • Add the honey and let it simmer

  • Enjoy!
