Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a low heat and cook the carrots with some salt for about 15 mins, tossing occasionally until browned all over. Add the butter and cook until foaming, then add the cider, apple juice, spices and sugar.
step 2

Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 mins until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced and is sticky. Serve, or leave to cool, then reheat in the glaze when ready.
