🥣 How to Make Quick Pickled Carrots
Step 1: Prep the Carrots
Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into sticks or coins depending on your jar shape and preference.
Step 2: Make the Brine
In a small saucepan, combine:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Step 3: Pack the Jars
Add sliced garlic, spices, and herbs to clean jars. Tightly pack the carrots in next.
Step 4: Pour & Seal
Pour the hot brine over the carrots, making sure they’re completely submerged. Let cool slightly, then seal with lids.
Step 5: Chill & Wait
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours for best flavor — but they get even better after 2–3 days!
