Ingredients

2 pounds young carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest

8 cardamom pods, hulled and seeds pounded in a mortar or 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

How to make Holiday Cranberry Carrots

Steam the carrot slices just until tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Do not overcook.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat just until it foams.
Add the carrots, orange zest, and cardamom.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the marsala and cranberries, turn up the heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently until the liquid has evaporated, about 3 to 5 minutes.
The cranberries will pop during this time.
Season to taste with salt.
