My mother in law makes this every spring and the pan is always empty. You only need 3 ingredients to make it.

Every spring, my mother-in-law shows up to Easter with a big white bowl of these southern 3-ingredient honey glazed carrots, and I swear the pan is always scraped clean before the ham is even carved. They’re the kind of no-fuss side dish you can throw together after work but still feel proud serving on a holiday table.
