Orange-braised carrots with raisins

Ingredients

• 1 lb. small or medium carrots, scrubbed (peeled if desired) and halved if large
• 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/3 cup golden raisins
• 1 3-inch cinnamon stick
• 3/4 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill weed

Preparation

1. In a large skillet combine carrots, orange juice, raisins, cinnamon, oil, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp. salt.  Bring to boiling over high heat; reduce to medium.  Turning carrots occasionally, cook 15 minutes or until almost all liquid has evaporated and carrots are glazed and just tender.
2. Transfer to a platter.  Top with dill. Add freshly-ground black pepper to taste.
