Candied Carrots

• 6 to 8 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Good Dash pepper

First prepare the carrots, cutting them into thin rounds. Place them in a saucepan with the water, margarine, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring the carrots to a boil over high heat. Cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the lid. Watching carefully, cook the carrots until the water evaporates, and the carrots are simmering in the margarine. This will take about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. They may be served immediately, or covered and reheated right before serving. Serves 4 or 6.
