"I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond."
-Mae West

The refrigerator light goes on...

I saw this recipe listed on a menu and thought that it would be great, but it was very much under seasoned. I couldn't taste the fennel at all. Most candied carrots recipes are way too sweet and the amount of brown sugar or molasses or maple syrup masks the flavor of the carrots. The combination of the unsalted butter and a small amount of honey with the salt balances nicely with the natural sweetness of the carrots.
