This giveaway is now closed, but there is other good stuff in this post, so keep reading…the glaze on these veggies is yum!
Today’s post is chockfull of great stuff. A recipe, helpful resources AND a giveaway. Are you ready? Let’s go!
I cannot believe that Passover and Easter are NEXT WEEK. Where does the time go? I blame the Daylight Savings Fairy.
Libby’s® Fruits & Vegetables recently contacted me about creating a side dish recipe for Easter and/or Passover that uses carrots, peas and corn. I thought and thought and decided candied vegetables would taste pretty darn good, especially with a little ginger thrown into the mix. So Little Chef Anna and I hit the kitchen and started creating. She looked into the big container of brown sugar and exclaimed in disbelief, “Brown sugar and salt and pepper?!?!” I assured her it would be delicious. Once she took a bite, she agreed!
The glaze for these veggies would be delicious on a host of vegetables, not just carrots, peas and corn, although carrots lend themselves very nicely to this treatment. Feel free to experiment with your veggies! I like the salty sweet flavor and the ginger adds a nice layer of flavor. This side dish would be a nice complement to all kinds of Easter feasts!

Good luck with the giveaway! Big thank to Libby’s! And, without further ado, today’s recipe!
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 15-ounce cans Libby’s Gourmet Baby Carrots, drained
- 1 15-ounce can Libby’s whole corn, drained
- 1 15-ounce can Libby’s all-natural peas, drained
- (This glaze would be good on other types of veggies, too. Shoot for 3-4 pounds total of vegetables if you mix things up. Blanched or steamed vegetables would work very well.)
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add brown sugar, ginger, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for a few minutes, until sugar crystals are mostly dissolved (about 3 or 4 minutes total). Add veggies, stir and cook until vegetables are heated through. Serve immediately. Makes about 10-15 servings.

I know some people love canned veggies and some people don’t. the glaze is just darn good and would be delish on whatever kind of veggie floats your boat – you could do fresh veggies steamed or blanched or maybe even roasted veggies. yum yum!

Some vegetables really stand up to being in an can, are almost better – like beets. Plus, have you peeled and sliced a beet lately? It’s not easy or fun, but I love to eat those bad boys.

Oh, the things I could grill with that grill pan!
fun recipe – but most people feel that both corn and peas are not kosher for passover 🙂
🙂 good point! but, seriously, the glaze is wonderful, so use whatever veggies will work for you – today I’m going to use roasted carrots with the glaze. 🙂
