Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 250 milliliters Water
- 250 milliliters White vinegar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 15 grams Salt
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into sticks or rounds, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
While the pickling liquid heats, prepare your clean glass jar (about 1-liter capacity). Add the garlic cloves, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, and fresh dill (if using) to the bottom of the jar.
Pack the carrots tightly into the jar, standing them upright if sliced into sticks, or layering them if sliced into rounds.
Once the pickling liquid has come to a simmer and everything is dissolved, carefully pour it over the carrots in the jar, ensuring all the carrots are fully submerged.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
Allow the carrots to pickle for at least 24 hours, though the flavor will intensify if left for 48 hours or more before serving.
Enjoy the spiced pickled carrots as a snack, side dish, or in salads!
