Firecracker Carrots Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Go out and buy a large jar of pickles from the store. Eat all the pickles and SAVE the jar.
  • Fill the jar up 3/4 with the mini carrots. Put the two dried chilies in the jar.
  • In a pot, bring all the other ingredients to a boil.
  • Boil for 4 solid minutes.
  • Slowly and safely pour the pickling liquid into the jar.
  • Allow it to cool.
  • Put the lid in the Jar.
  • Put the Jar in the fridge for 5 - 7 days.

    I changed out the dried chiles for a couple of habanero chiles and added about a clove of minced garlic. I call them Fire Bomb carrots and my family loves them.

    I also use the carrot chips from the grocery store. Its easy and the chips are more uniform in size.

    "In a pot, bring all the other ingredients (except the 2 dried chilies)"

    So what are you supposed to do with the chilies?

    Yes sday5, I use baby carrots half the time, it really all depends on what you want. I've even used 'carrot chips' which they sell pre-cut.

    Could you use baby carrots instead of mini carrots?
