Pickled Carrots … Refrigerator Pickles, No canning required

By pdotson August 15, 2016

When we made these Refrigerator Pickles last summer my son LOVED the carrots in them. SO we have been making Pickled Carrots. We just make a few jars at a time and put them in the fridge (we don't can them) so they stay super crunchy. He takes these in his lunch and loves them for a snack. And since he is not a fan of cooked veggies this is great to have on hand the days I am out of fresh veggies.

Prep Time : 15 minutes

Ingredients

Carrots - 5 pounds (washed, peeled, and cut into sticks)
Sweet Onion - 1 large
Garlic - 6 cloves (peeled and diced)
White Vinegar - 3 cups
Water - 5 cups
Kosher Salt - 4 tablespoons
Dill Pickle Mix - 1/4 cup ( I BALL dill pickle mix)
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Fresh Dill - I add fresh dill if I have it.

Instructions

In a pan add water,vinegar, salt, pickle mix, and sugar and bring to a light boil then ladle the liquid mixture into clean jars packed with dill, garlic, and carrots. Once the jars are filled add the tops and lids and place in the refrigerator then wait at least 2 days before you start eating. This made 4 Quarts
TIP: Use a wide mouth jar so you can easily get the carrots in and out of the jar. These will last several months in the fridge
