Glazed Carrots and Converting Metric Recipes to English Units

Glazed Carrots

32 oz. carrots
2 T butter
2 T sugar
2 t parsley
pinch of salt
bottled water (you can use sparkling mineral water if you want)

Cut carrots into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Melt butter and glaze sugar in it. Pour some water in until sugar is completely dissolved. Add carrots. Add salt and a little water, constantly stirring carrots. The liquid should always be at a minimum and should be completely dissolved when carrots are "al dente". To finish, add parsley. Total cooking time: 15 minutes.

Kitchen Tip:

I obtained this recipe from a cousin who lived in Europe. She was kind enough to help me  translate it into English and convert the measurements from metric. If you have found a recipe that you would like to make, but have not because of the metric measurements here are a couple of resources that you can use:
