1. Cook the carrots in plenty of boiling salted water for about 7 minutes until they are quite soft. Drain well. |
2. Put the butter in the pan in which you cooked the carrots and allow it to melt over a low heat. Stir in the sugar and nutmeg and cook gently until the sugar dissolves. Return the carrots, season well, and turn them in the butter until well glazed. |
