101 Things I Want to Dr. Pepper Glaze

1. Carrots
-----Steam: 2 cups of baby carrots in the microwave. Use 2 tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt. Cover with a plate or paper towel. 3-5 minutes, fork-tender but not mushy! Drain, if there is leftover water.
-----Add the glaze: Dr. Pepper, yellow mustard, small pat of butter, salt
-----Stir: To coat
-----Reduce glaze: Microwave, uncovered now, in 30-second bursts, stir between each burst. This could take up to 3 minutes.
-----You are looking for: Thick, sticky glaze. Glossy carrots. No water puddle!
-----Too thick? Add a splash more Dr. Pepper!
-----Finish: A tiny pat of butter (let it melt and gloss the carrots. Squeeze of lime. Pinch of chili powder or paprika. Tiny sprinkle of salt.
