Steamed Carrots

Prep time = 20 minutes

½ c. apricots
2 c. carrots
1 Tbl. butter
directions
Steam or boil carrots until soft and drain. Microwave ½ c. apricots in water for 5 minutes and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain and cut into thin strips. Steam 2 c. carrots until tender (5-8 minutes), and drain. Over low heat, mix carrots, apricots and 1 Tbl. butter. Warm for 2 minutes.

suggestions
To save time, keep a bag of baby carrots handy in the refrigerator - they're already washed and peeled and that means less work for you!
