5 pounds carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
3 cups unsweetened tart cherry or pomegranate juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Turkish bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Recipe
Simmer carrots, juice, brown sugar, tomato paste, oil, bay leaves, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large heavy pot, stirring occasionally, until carrots are crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.
Strain, reserving liquid, (about 2 cups). Reduce liquid over high heat until it measures 1 cup and is slightly thickened.
Return carrots to pot with liquid to reheat, stirring to coat carrots with reduced juices, then serve.
