Ingredients

0.3333
0.3333 cup dried currants 0.25
0 1/4 cup cold water 3.0
3 cup sliced carrots 1.0
1 cup orange juice 1.0
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 0.5
0 1/2 tsp cornstarch 0.5
0 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1.0

Directions

Soak the currants in the hot water until plump, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, blanch the carrots in boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, and cornstarch, stirring well to dissolve the cornstarch.
Drain the carrots and return them to the saucepan on medium heat.
Add the juice mixture, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, and the currants and their soaking liquid. Simmer, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with chopped parsley or mint, if you like.
