Carrots with Mustard Glaze

Total time: 25 minutes
    I got the idea for this in a Williams Sonoma cookbook.  Honey could be used instead of the Brown sugar. The color is a bit odd but the flavor is wonderful!

 Ingredients:

• 2 - 3 carrots
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 tbs Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tbs chicken stock

 Instructions:

• Peel carrots, and cut into rounds about 1/4" (.6cm) thick.
• Put carrots and water into a small saucepan or nonstick skillet.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat.  Reduce heat and let simmer until done, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Drain carrots and return empty pan to heat.
• Add stock, brown sugar, thyme and mustard and stir until sugar is melted.
• Add carrots and stir, over high heat until glaze is thick and hot.  Serve.
