Gingered Carrots

6 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon sugar (or 6 to 9 drops Stevia)

1 teaspoon cornstarch

⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ginger

¼ cup fresh orange juice

Steam the carrots until tender-crisp; drain. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, and ginger in a separate saucepan; whisk in the orange juice. Simmer, covered, until thickened. Uncover, and cook for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

Place the carrots in a serving dish and drizzle with the orange juice mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Let stand, covered, for 4 to 5 minutes before serving.

Yield: 6 servings
