Enjoy your homemade Vinegar Pickled Carrots! They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a thinly sliced jalapeno to the vinegar mixture.
Experiment with different herbs and spices! Fresh dill, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, or coriander seeds would all be delicious additions.
Ensure the carrots are fully submerged in the vinegar solution to prevent spoilage.
Sterilizing your jars is crucial for safe pickling. You can do this by boiling the jars and lids in water for 10 minutes before filling them.
These pickled carrots make a wonderful homemade gift!
