Ingredients

1/2 lb mini carrots (cut and peeled)

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup cider vigegar

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 dried chilies

Pickle Jar

Directions

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.

Eat! (Carrots will be good for 3 - 4 more weeks, but you'll eat them first).

Could you use baby carrots instead of mini carrots?

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.

So what are you supposed to do with the chilies?

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.
