Candied Carrot and Parsnip Medley with Tarragon

Candied Carrot and Parsnip Medley with Tarragon

This side dish goes great with almost any dinner and the herb Tarragon compliments both carrots and parsnips. 

It is the dead of winter and I just picked carrots and parsnips fresh from my garden - in Michigan! - This is possible when you MULCH CARROTS (mulch parsnips in the same manner).
