Sweet pickled carrots




We love pickles. We like to keep between 2 and 4 kinds of pickles around. I was deterred because of the canning issue for many years. We don't can, we do "quick" or "refrigerator" pickles. They take 10-15 minutes to make and are ready in a few hours and keep for weeks. If you love pickles and aren't making them at home you should consider trying it. We're addicted to it around here.

Important to remember for pickles is the 1-1-1 rule. 1 cup water-1 cup vinegar-1 tbsp salt (for sour) or sugar (for sweet).

Instructions

Add 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, cinnamon stick, couple cloves, half dozen black peppercorns and bring to boil.

Chop 4-5 carrots anyway you want

Pour pickling mixture over carrots. Let cool and refrigerate. Ready to eat in a few hours but get better overnight.
