This recipe is from my friend in Albuquerque,New Mexico- she got it from her cook book " Lucinda's Rustic Kitchen". and sent me this photo and recipe via e-mail, of course,I tweaked it... ;) This is my new way to serve carrots. My family loves them prepared this way- hope you do too! Thank you Maria for sending this to me and also thanks to Lucinda Scala Quinn for her recipe. Although I tweaked it.

How To Make sweet and sour carrots

Step 1

Place the carrots, olive oil, 1/2 the salt and water in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the water has evaporated, about 7 minutes- keep a watch on them so they don't scorch.

Step 2

Stir in the onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the sugar and mix. Add the vinegar, pepper, and remaining salt and stir until there is a glaze coating the carrots, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint. Place in serving bowl.
