30 minutes

• 3-4 medium-size carrots
• 1/4 cup onion, minced
• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 6 tblsp. butter
• 2 tblsp. white vinegar
• 1/2 cup seedless raisins
• 2 tblsp. brown sugar

Scrape the carrots and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan and add carrots, onions, and nutmeg. When onions are lightly browned, pour in vinegar. Cook, covered, over low heat until carrots are tender.

Meanwhile, soak raisins in 1/2 cup warm water. When carrots are done, drain raisins and dump them into the saucepan along with the brown sugar. Stir gently until raisins are heated through. Serve steaming hot.
