I make this side dish for festivities like Thanksgiving or Christmas

Instructions

Cut peeled carrots diagonal, about 2" long, then steam for 20 minutes.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt after the carrots are tender.
Melt the butter in a frying pan, then add the carrots.
On high heat shake carrots around for two or three minutes until they are well buttered.
Add the light brown sugar and orange marmalade and keep shaking in the pan.
Continue cooking on medium for 5 minutes.
At the end add walnuts and serve.

Notes

Instead of walnuts you could also use pecans. Roast them first in a pan
