Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 medium carrots, julienned
1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and julienned

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add carrots and ginger; toss to combine. Cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, crisp carrots with no blemishes. Thinner carrots will pickle more quickly than thicker ones.
  • Use a variety of vinegar: You can use any type of vinegar you like, but rice vinegar, white vinegar, and apple cider vinegar are all popular choices. Each type of vinegar will give the carrots a slightly different flavor.
  • Add some sweetness: Sugar or honey can be added to the pickling liquid to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. You can also use other sweeteners, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Add some spices: Spices like garlic, ginger, and mustard seeds can add a lot of flavor to pickled carrots. You can also use dried herbs, such as dill or thyme.
  • Let the carrots pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer you let the carrots pickle, the more flavorful they will be. You can store pickled carrots in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
