Recipe fact:
Carrots glazed with butter and sugar are an American classic. Mustard and ginger give extra zip to this version of a timeless favorite.

Ingredient info:
Dijon mustard originated in the Burgundy region of France. Made with brown or black mustard seeds, white wine and unfermented grape juice, the sharp, clean flavor of Dijon can range from mild to hot.

Fresh gingerroot has a sharper, spicier flavor than dried, powdered ginger. When selecting fresh ginger, look for roots with smooth, unblemished skin.
