Ingredients
- 4 cups baby carrots peeled
- 2 3/4 cups white distilled vinegar 5% acidity
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- 1.5 tablespoons pickling spice
- 500 millilitres canning jars 2 jars
Instructions
- Prepare the two canning jars.
- Peel the carrots, trim the tops and bottoms off.
- Combine vinegar, water, spices and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- When the vinegar mixture comes to a boil, drop in the carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes. You want them slightly crunchy in the middle.
- Remove the carrots and rinse under cold water to stop them from cooking any further.
- Place the carrots into the jars, standing upright. Pour the brine over the carrots, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace. Tap the jars to remove any air bubbles, then wipe the rims and place the rings and lids on.
- Let the jars rest until they are cool to the touch and then refrigerate. I waited until the next day to taste test them and they were ready, because we cooked them in the spicy brine which helped the pickling liquid penetrate the carrots faster.
