1 pound carrots, cut diagonally into ¼-inch thick slices

½ teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons sugar, divided

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 Tablespoon margarine or butter

½ cup dried cranberries

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Wash hands with soap and water.
Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.

This was an interesting vegetable dish. We liked the slight sweet-tart flavor that the cranberries added and the savory touch that the butter provided. I think I will make this again with half the butter. I liked this as a different way to enjoy cooked carrots. Thanks!
