Ingredients
-
-
- 1 pound of carrots, tops removed, peeled if needed, sliced into sticks
- 1 cup distilled white or apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
-
Directions
- Add carrots to a large mason jar or glass container. Set aside.
- To a small saucepan add the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to fully dissolve salt and sugar.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or sugar to taste.
- Pour the brine over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, add more vinegar or a little water to cover.
- Seal well and shake to combine. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will deepen and intensify the longer it marinates. Best flavor is achieved after 24 hours.
- Will keep in the refrigerator for 2 months, sometimes longer.
Notes:
You need at least 24 hours for the pickling process. The longer you pickle, the more the vegetables will take on the flavors of the spice blend. Mason jars are a popular choice, but any airtight plastic or glass will work.
The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for months.
