Yield Makes 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound smaller organic carrots
3 tablespoons matchsticks of peeled fresh ginger
1 cup vinegar
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Peel the carrots and cut them into batons about 4 inches long by 1/2-inch thick. Toss with the ginger and pack into clean, sterilized jars.
  • Combine 1 cup water with the vinegar, turbinado sugar, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture over the carrots, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each jar.
  • At this point the pickles are pretty much done but they will be at their best a day or two later. The shelf life, without hot canning processing, is about 10 days. With proper canning, it is 6 to 8 months.
