GLAZED CARROTS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Glazed Carrots and Brussels Sprouts image

I made this recipe for my mother's birthday over 20 years ago. Everyone loved the Brussels sprouts! Then I lost the recipe. Recently as I was going through my mother's recipe cards, I found the copy I made for her. I had forgotten what an attractive dish this is. It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!

1 ⅔ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons butter

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed beef consomme (such as Campbell's®)
⅓ cup apple juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

Fill a large pot 3/4 full of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add Brussels sprouts and carrots, bring back to a boil, and cook vegetables until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Add beef consomme, apple juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cloves.
