1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup dark pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

In a 5-7 quart saucepan, combine carrots, water, ginger and 2
tablespoons butter.

Cover and cook on medium for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then, uncover and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until liquid has
evaporated and carrots are almost tender.

Add maple syrup, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon
