Aunt J's Orange Ginger Carrots: A Vegetable Side Dish Loved By All! by Judy Thow

My grandchildren have already called me to check out what is on our Thanksgiving menu. They wanted to make sure I was fixing our "orange ginger carrots." This vegetable side dish is loved by all – young and old. One of our most precious aunts shared this recipe with our family. We have been enjoying it for more years than I can remember. I hope that once you try these delicious carrots you will be as hooked as we are!

You’ll need:

• 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (McCormick)
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons butter

Here's how to make them:

1. Cook the carrots until tender. Set aside.
2. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and ginger in a saucepan.
3. Add the orange juice and butter. Cook until slightly thickened. 
4. Add to your carrots.
5. Garnish with a little parsley.
