  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

  2. When oil is hot and starts to shimmer, add squash and
    carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.

  3. Mix in fiddleheads and corn, and stir to incorporate. If using dried fiddleheads, add apple juice and let simmer for one minute.

  4. Add butter, honey, and jalapeño (if using). Stir until the butter has melted and the honey and jalapeños are fully mixed in. Continue to cook the mixture until most of the liquid is gone from the pan (to your preference).
