Instructions: Place the carrots in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain. In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the ginger, orange peel, honey, vinegar, and carrots. Toss until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the lemon balm or mint and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

NOTES : Carrots have a natural sweetness that is enhanced when cooked with honey. The vinegar gives balance and a subtle fruitiness. Several types of honey are available today (orange blossom, clover, wildflower). Experiment with different types until you find one that suits your taste the best.
