Mexican Pickled Carrots (Escabeche) image

Adapted from the Fresh Approach Cooking blog, I've added a couple of things to it. This is a refrigerated pickle, crisp, spicy, and addictive. It will keep a couple of months or longer in the fridge. The cooking time is the minimum refrigeration time for the pickle.

These pickled carrots are so good! I love the pop of flavor they add to tacos and burritos.

5 stars! This is my new favorite way to make pickled carrots. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love the combination of sweet and tangy flavors.

This escabeche recipe is a winner! The carrots came out perfectly tender and flavorful. I especially love the hint of sweetness from the pineapple juice. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken and it was a huge hit.
