I have at hand the 1985 _ The Compleat I Hate To Cook Book _
The original version, which I think of as the "old" version
was c. 1960, with an _ Appendix _ appearing a few years later.

On p. 112 I see a carrot recipe that might be what you want:

Cut enough carrots into strips to make 2 cups full... Cook until
tender, drain.

3 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. sugar (no spec. as to what kind)
1/2 tsp. paprika
juice of half a lemon

Mix these last four in a heavy pan, add the carrots and
saute (sorry about my lack of diacritics) for about 10 minutes,
stirring.
