1 pound medium size carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine first seven ingredients in medium saucepan.
Heat carrots uncovered over medium heat, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Stir often until carrots are tender and a little liquid is remaining.
Stir in lemon.
