Honey-Ginger Glazed Carrots

• 3 pounds carrots, cut into 3- by 1/2-inch sticks
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
• optional: a pinch of cinnamon

In a kettle cover carrots with salted water by 2 inches and boil, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes.
