From the Garden...Honey Glazed Pea Pods and Carrots

I wouldn’t change a thing about this recipe…it’s just sweet enough, and the color and taste are excellent. My husband thought we need to have this again and I agree.  I was looking for one more recipe to use some sugar snap peas when I found this one.  You can substitute frozen pea pods too.

 I used my mandoline to slice the carrots.   

Another winner from the Land O Lakes folks.  Their recipes are well-thought out, with clear directions that are right on.
