Both and a bit of mint sauce.

Butter and mint sauce heating tinned peas.

I always add sugar to fresh peas when they are coming to an end.

Roast them you don't need sugar.

That said if boiling you can add some butter, brown sugar or maple syrup and white wine vinegar makes a nice little sauce.....I also add grated root ginger....

I would always have added salt if cooking for others though if it's just for me I won't add any. Future mother in law though says they are a sweet vegetable so should be sugared instead.

I used to put salt in with the carrots (in cold water).
Now I don't usually cook with salt. The exception being potatoes.

Never tried cooking vegetables with sugar :-S

Cooking query. My mother does it one way and my future mother in law the other so I was wondering what everyone else does.

When cooking carrots do you salt or sugar them once they begin to boil?
