Ingredients

• 1 stick butter
• 2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2- inch pieces
• 3/4 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 thyme sprig

Directions

1. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute.

2. Remove them to a clean plate and repeat with the remaining carrots. Pour the whiskey into the skillet. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook for 3 minutes, or until slightly reduced.

3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the other half stick of butter and stir it around until it’s melted. Stir in the brown sugar, then add the carrots.

4. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to add enough salt to offset the sweetness.

5. Serve with a thyme sprig or sprinkled chopped thyme on the top.
