    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup golden raisins
    Hot water
    5 to 6 medium carrots (10 to 12 oz.)
    Boiling water, just enough to cover carrots
    2 tsp. finely-minced fresh ginger
    1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

    2 tsp. brown sugar
    2 tsp. cornstarch

    In a medium bowl, combine raisins and just enough hot water to cover them. Let stand about 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, peel and slice carrots diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place in a medium pot of boiling water, add ginger and lemon juice. Cook 6 to 7 minutes. Drain.

    Drain raisins, reserving 3/4 cup liquid, and set aside.

    In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook 30 seconds.

    In a separate bowl, mix together reserved raisin water and cornstarch. Add to butter/brown sugar mixture. Cook about 1 minute, or until thickened.

    Add raisins and carrots and cook 1 minute.

    Add lemon zest and salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
