Carrots, that's what's cooking!

Judy at Patchworktimes started a "What's Cooking" on Wednesday where she gives us an ingredient and we use it in something the following week. This past week was carrots. I was going to make my trusty dish with carrots and honey etc, but was browsing through my cookbook and found another one to try. I did my usual adapting to what I had handy.

Carrots and Raisins
2 Tblsps. butter or margerine;
1 1/2 lbs. carrots, cleaned and cut in diagonal 1/4 inch slices;
1/3 cup water or dry white wine;
1/2 tsp. nutmeg;
2/3 cup white raisins;
3 tsps. light brown sugar.

Directions:
 Melt butter in medium skillet. Add carrots, water (wine) and nutmeg.
Cover. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Stir in raisins and sugar; cook 5 minutes or until raisins are plump and carrots are glazed.
4-6 servings.

I had crasins here so used those instead of raisins, also used the wine. The guys went back for seconds so it must have been good!
