Crunchy Carrot Refrigerator Pickles
Crunchy Carrot Refrigerator Pickles are crisp carrot sticks preserved with garlic, vinegar, herbs, and a flavorful homemade brine.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or thin slices depending on your preferred texture.
- Place garlic cloves, coriander seeds, and dill into clean glass jars before adding the prepared carrots.
- Pack the carrots firmly into the jars while leaving enough space for the pickling liquid to flow around them.
- Combine water, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in a saucepan and warm gently until the salt and sugar dissolve.
- Pour the brine over the carrots until they are completely submerged beneath the liquid.
- Allow the jars to cool naturally before sealing and moving them into the refrigerator.
- Let the carrots pickle for at least one day before eating, then enjoy them chilled as a crunchy snack or side dish.
