Apricot-Jalapeno Glazed Carrots

Steam carrots in a tightly covered dish with a couple of tablespoons of water for 2 minutes until almost done. (Depending on your microwave and the size of your carrots, this may take longer. My carrots were very thin.).

Melt butter over med-high heat in a small skillet. Add partially cooked carrots and fry in butter until starting to brown a tiny bit. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, jalapeno, and rosemary and saute 1 minute until fragrant.

Add preserves, brown sugar and mustard. Continue stirring until preserves are melted and carrots are glazed. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
