Maple Glazed Carrots

These are very tender and tasty.
You can add some brown sugar to
sweeten them up but it's not needed.

salt to taste
4 cups peeled and sliced fresh carrots
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)

Directions:
Bring water and salt to a boil
in medium saucepan. Add carrots.
Cover and cook over medium heat
for 12 to 15 minutes or until
carrots are tender. Drain.
Cover to keep warm.
Melt butter in saucepan over low heat.
Stir in syrup. Add carrots.
Cook until carrots are well glazed,
stirring constantly.
Serve topped with pecans.
Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon
just before serving, if desired.
