=== Ingredients ===
* 6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into very thin strips
* 3 T unsalted butter
* 3 T sugar
* 4-6 T lemon juice
* 3/4 c golden raisins, soaked in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes, then drained
* 6 T pine nutes
* salt

=== Preparation ===
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat.  Add carrots and cook just enough to soften.  (They should still have a crunchy consistency.)  Drain carrots and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking.  Set aside until ready to use.

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.  Add sugar, lemon juice, raisins and pine nuts.  Stir a few times until the sugar is dissolved.  Add the carrots, season with salt to taste, and remove from heat.

Just before serving, put the skillet back on medium heat and stir carrots a few times until they are coated with the sugar/lemon mixture.  Serve hot.

==== Prepare Ahead ====
* Through step 2, one hour or so ahead.
* Complete the last step just before serving.
