I'm looking to glaze some carrots, maybe some beets, and a decent chunk of the rest of the season's worth of farmshare. I'm sure there's plenty of recipes on the internet, but I'm looking for some general advice as to method: how to do it properly, what to look out for, etc. Help me out?

Best Answer
Trim your carrots, rutabaga, turnips, etc. to consistent sizes and put in a large saute pan. Add stock or water (amount will depend on vegetables and their density along with quantitye of vegetables. Start with enough to come about 2/3 up the volume of veg.) along with some salt, a couple tablespoons of butter and a couple tablespoons of sugar.
Bring the liquid to a simmer and cover lightly with a lid or a circle of parchment paper. Simmer until vegetables are getting tender. Remove the lid and continue to simmer until liquid evaporates and sugar and butter create a nice glaze. Watch at the end to make sure the sugar doesn't burn. Add any desired herbs, taste and adjust seasoning and serve.
