Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Melt bacon grease in a boiler.

Add carrots and salt and enough water to cover the top of carrots.

Cover with a lid and place on medium heat and bring to a boil.

Turn heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until the carrots are tender when pricked with a fork.

When carrots become tender pour half of the water off.

Add melted butter, sugar and honey to carrots.

Place lid on the pot and cook until completely tender.

Cook's Note: Pat made these at Westmoreland. We cooked them for over an hour after adding the sweeteners and they actually could have cooked longer.
