Ingredients

  • 1 can of sliced carrots, drained and weighing 16 ounces
  • A generous ⅔ cup of rich brown sugar
  • ¼ cup of butter for a touch of creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons of tangy orange marmalade

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, nestle the vibrant carrots alongside a sprinkle of brown sugar, a dollop of butter, and a generous spoonful of zesty orange marmalade. Gently drape the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap, not too snug, just a cozy cover.

Step 2

Pop this delightful mix into the microwave and let it dance under the high heat for about 3 minutes. Give it a gentle stir to awaken the flavors. Should you find the butter and marmalade still a bit shy, simply continue the cooking in short 30-second bursts, stirring tenderly in between. Your goal is to see those carrots enveloped in a glistening glaze, embracing the sweetness of the marmalade and the richness of the butter.
