Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups carrots, sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Instructions
- Combine water, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, red pepper flakes, crushed garlic, and black peppercorns in a saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey completely.
- Slice your carrots into thin disks or sticks, aiming for uniformity for even pickling.
- Transfer the freshly sliced carrots into a clean, sterilized jar, packing them snugly.

- Secure the lid tightly and allow the jar to cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
- Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours before tasting.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the carrots to pickle for at least 24 hours. They can last up to two weeks in the fridge.
