    1 pounds carrots, peeled ; or use baby carrots
    1 tablespoon margarine [or butter ]
    1 teaspoon Splenda

In a steamer set over boiling water steam the carrots for 4 to 8 minutes, or until they are just tender, and transfer them to a bowl.

Cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed evenly and heated through, and season it with salt and pepper.
