INGREDIENTS

2 pounds large carrots
2 cups vegetable stock
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons B & R Farms apricot spread
salt to taste
1 tablespoon chives for garnish,washed and dried, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

Peel and cut the carrots into 1/2-inch slices, diagonally.

Add them to a large sauté pan and pour the stock over them. Evenly distribute the butter, apricot spread, and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt on top.
Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low-medium. Let the carrots cook at a strong simmer until they're tender and the liquid has reduced almost completely, about 35 minutes. The carrots should be carefully turned a couple of times with a rubber spatula during the cooking process.
