How will this dish make your life easier?

This recipe takes just a few minutes to put together, and the carrots will stay good in your fridge for weeks, if they’ll last that long. Plus, it’s a great way to give carrots that have started to go, umm, limp a new life.

How do I make these easy pickled carrots?

Start making your pickled dill carrots by adding water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a microwave safe jar or bowl. Top with microwave safe cover, so no water evaporates. Microwave 60-90 seconds, stir. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve into liquids.

Peel and slice carrots into 2-4 slices, and then cut them to about 4 inches, or dip one into the liquid in the jar you will store them in. Cut carrots to just below the liquid line.

Peeling carrots allows them to take on more of the pickling flavors.

Add 1 clove of garlic, dried dill, and fresh dill weed to pickling liquid, then add carrot slices. Ensure all carrots are below the liquid, or completely submerged. Close lid and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, but recommended: 24 hours before eating.

Use a clean fork to remove your pickled dill carrots. They can be stored for up to 3 weeks.

Substitutions/Tips

• Use fine salt, it dissolves easier.
• You can substitute ¼ teaspoon dried dill for fresh dill weed in this recipe.
• If you don’t like dill as much, you can omit the dried dill and just use fresh, or just add a pinch of dried.
• Other great add-ins: Extra garlic, red pepper flakes.
