It is a popular side dish or appetizer that is often served at room temperature or chilled. The carrots are usually dressed with a combination of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil, but other ingredients such as ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and coriander can be added for extra flavor and spiciness.

TWO VINEGAR CARROTS
The sweetness of the carrots is balanced out by the red wine vinegar, with the balsamic vinegar creating a very light glaze. *The onion states between 1/2 - 1 because when I make this for others I use 1/2 an onion but when I make it for just us I use a whole onion.

CARROTS IN HONEY AND VINEGAR
This recipe comes from "The Big Book of Preserving the Harvest" by Carol W. Costenbader. I made some a few years ago and they're very good. This is an easy recipe that even inexperienced home-canners can make. You will need either two pint jars or 1 quart jar, preferably wide-mouth to make packing easier. No need to sterilize, as you will be processing for 30 minutes. Remember to use the freshest possible produce. Don't use the ones that come in bags!

Steps:
- Scrub the carrots and trim their green tops, leaving 3 inches, if desired. Remove the root end (the tip). Blanch the carrots in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water. Drain well.
- Combine the vinegar, water, honey, salt, and pepper in a nonreactive (stainless steel) saucepan and boil until the honey has dissolved.
- Evenly divide the carrots into hot, clean jars, wedging the carrots and stacking some upside down.
- Fill the jars with the hot liquid, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Add 2 sprigs of dill to each jar. (You can add the dill before the carrots if you want to see it in the finished product.) Cap and seal.
- Process for 30 minutes in a boiling-water-bath canner. Let the flavors marry for 2 weeks before using. Adjust for altitude if necessary.

VICHY CARROTS
Vichy carrots are a dish in which the vegetables are cooked through in water with a little sugar on them to create a glaze. Historically, the excellence of this preparation derived from the quality of the spring water in Vichy, a resort town in central France. Jody Williams, the chef at Buvette in Greenwich Village, from whom this recipe is adapted, adds sherry vinegar to the water, along with, eventually, some honey, shallots and a pinch or two of fresh thyme. Who knows if the Vichyssoise would recognize the result. But served hot, room temperature or cold, they are some fantastic carrots.

Steps:
- Put carrots in a sauté pan, season aggressively with salt and add a tablespoon of the vinegar. Add cold water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the carrots. Set pan over high heat and bring liquid to a boil.
- Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. (If pan appears about to dry out during this process, add a splash or two of water.)
- Once carrots are cooked through, discard any excess liquid in the pan. Add remaining tablespoon sherry vinegar to pan, along with the honey, olive oil, shallot and thyme, and cook for about 2 minutes to glaze the carrots. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, or cold from the refrigerator.
