whiskey glazed carrots

i came across this recipe on pinterest and thought that it was worth a shot... it sounds interesting right?! well, in my husbands words "i can't believe i'm eating carrots!" so i have to say that they were a success!! next time i make them (and there will definitely be a next time coming very soon!) i think that i will add some cayenne pepper for a little bit of a kick (i dont have any idea if that is going to turn out good at all but i will let you know lol)

Whiskey glazed carrots
from http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/10/whiskey-glazed-carrots-major-league-yum/

1/2 stick Butter, Divided
2 pounds Carrots, Peeled And Cut Into Thick Circles
1/4 cup Whiskey ( i used seagrams seven cuz thats what i had... and i wasnt ballsy enough to try southern comfort although the thought of it intrigued me)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
 Pepper, to taste

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Pour in whiskey and allow to evaporate 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining butter.

When butter melts, sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Stir together, then add carrots to skillet. Cover, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.

Remove lid and add pepper. Continue cooking until carrots are done and glaze is thick, about 5 more minutes.

Pour onto a platter and enjoy.


*UPDATE: i have since tried this with southern comfort and it wasn't good.
