Brown Sugar-Glazed Carrots

Here's a crowd pleasing veggie--

2pounds carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (12 to 14 medium)
1/2teaspoon salt, if desired
2/3cup packed brown sugar
1/4cup butter or margarine
1teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2teaspoon salt

1.Heat 1 inch water to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add carrots and, if desired, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer covered 12 to 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
2.While carrots are cooking, heat brown sugar, butter, orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 10- or 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will taste scorched. Remove from heat.
3.Drain carrots. Stir carrots into brown sugar mixture. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently, until carrots are glazed and hot.
