In a large skillet over medium heat, add the carrots with ½ teaspoon salt and water.

Bring to a rapid simmer and cook the carrots until just tender (about 5 minutes).

Drain the excess water and add the salted butter, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and allspice and stir to coat the carrots evenly and melt the flavors together.

Increase the heat to medium high and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced by ⅓ resembling a loose glaze (4-5 minutes).
