Looking for a new carrot dish? Here it is.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Apricots and carrots compliment each other and look so pretty together.<\/p>\n

Rainnnn, we finally got it yesterday and it lasted all day long.  I was stranded at the mall for an extra hour and while there discovered that to get the new iPhone I will have to get in line at least by 7:00 a.m.  What I won’t do for the new gadget.<\/p>\n

So, back to this recipe.<\/p>\n

Several years ago when in Napa we visited the Goosecross Winery<\/a>. I love Napa and could go back again and again. A lot of my favorite wineries have recipes on their websites and this recipe came from Goosecross.<\/p>\n

I have to admit that I haven’t tried a lot of carrot recipes. Besides maybe eating them raw with some kind of yummy dip or simply boiling them and then adding some butter and parsley, that’s about it. I do remember from a class in culinary school where we cooked the carrots in a flavored water like lemon or grapefruit water and that does flavor them somewhat.<\/p>\n

So, this is my attempt to try something different. I think the colors are so fallish and I hope will be another recipe I add to my menus in the future.<\/p>\n

      Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, honey, apricots, leon zest and enough broth to just cover the carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
