So this is how you make them! And who'da though they would be so easy? I've been looking for a recipe for sweet carrots for years now but all the recipes I came across turned out bland, mushy and the sauce was to thin. I can eat carrots now! Thanks so much, this is an EXCELLENT recipe, and just the way it is too, no changes - excellent.

Prepare the Carrots
In a large skillet, combine the carrots, syrup, butter, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Cook the Carrots
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring once, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, 12 to 15 minutes. (If the carrots are tender before the liquid has thickened, uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until the liquid forms a glaze.)
