Carrots for Garnish

Blanch some young carrots in boiling water, rub off their skins and trim them with a knife in equalized pear shapes; then drain and put them into a saucepan with some chicken consomme, add some salt, pepper and sugar and boil till they are done. Reduce the liquor so as to glaze the carrots, and serve.
