Instructions
Put the carrots into the pot. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook until the carrots are al dente.
Strain all but ⅛ cup of water. You want to leave enough to keep heat in the pot and let the carrots continue to steam.
Add the orange juice and zest, honey, butter, ginger, shallots, and salt. Stir the ingredients to coat the carrots. Cover and set aside.
If necessary, reheat before serving. Add a little hot water if needed so the bottom of the carrots don't burn.
