Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots, trimmed and peeled
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
- Pack the baby carrots into a clean 1-quart jar along with the garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and dill sprigs.
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
- Pour the hot brine over the carrots in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let cool to room temperature.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. The pickles will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Tips
- For extra crunch, use very cold water when preparing the brine.
- These pickles are best after 2-3 days of refrigeration.
- Serve as a side with sandwiches, burgers, or as part of a charcuterie board.
