Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 250 ml distilled white vinegar
- 250 ml water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 2 sprigs dill (fresh)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into sticks approximately 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
Sterilize a 1-liter canning jar by washing it with hot soapy water and rinsing well. Set aside to dry.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the honey is dissolved.
Step 4
Lightly crush the garlic cloves and add them to the vinegar mixture along with the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and bay leaf. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 5
Place the carrot sticks into the sterilized jar, packing them tightly.
Step 6
Place the dill sprigs between the carrots for added flavor.
Step 7
Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged and leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Step 8
Seal the jar with a lid and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 9
Refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours before consuming to allow the flavors to meld. The pickled carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
