Ingredients

• 2 cups baby carrots or whole carrots, washed well and chopped into about 1 inch pieces
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• In a large skillet (I used a 12 inch), heat 2 tablespoons of the butter until melted. Add carrots and cook lightly until they start to brown a little bit.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water and the honey. Stir to combine and bring the water to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer on low until the carrots become tender, about 30 minutes. Check the water throughout this time and add more if it gets low.
• When the carrots are tender and the liquid is almost completely reduced, remove from the heat and add the remaining tablespoon butter, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Taste and adjust seasonings.
