Mexican Pickled Carrots (Escabeche) image

Adapted from the Fresh Approach Cooking blog, I've added a couple of things to it. This is a refrigerated pickle, crisp, spicy, and addictive. It will keep a couple of months or longer in the fridge. The cooking time is the minimum refrigeration time for the pickle.
