Glazed Carrots and Parsnips

For sweet savings, use an equal amount of corn syrup instead of the pricey honey called for in these Glazed Carrots and Parsnips. You'll get the same sweetening power without spending as much money.

Ingredients

8 medium carrots

4 medium parsnips

2 cup apple juice

2 cup water

3 Tbsp butter

1/3 cup honey

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried

1/8 tsp grated nutmeg

1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

1. Peel carrots and parsnips. Cut into 1/4-inch rounds. Combine carrots, parsnips, apple juice and water in a large pan.

3. Add butter, honey, lemon juice, mint, nutmeg, salt and pepper to pan. Stir well.

4. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring, until vegetables are glazed.
