1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup maple syrup (preferably Grade B)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves

¼ cup whiskey

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into rounds or thin sticks

• Instructions:

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the mustard, salt, black pepper, maple syrup, garlic and rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook for five minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly stir in the whiskey.

Return the pan to the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Set aside but keep in a warm place.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until just tender, about five minutes. Drain the carrots, then return them to the saucepan. Add the glaze and toss gently to coat.
