Cooking Instructions
1.
Place one clove of Garlic (2 cloves) in the bottom of each of two 16-ounce or half-liter clean jars.
2.
Based on the height of your jars, cut the Carrots (3 cups) into spears measuring 3/4-inch less than the height of each jar. Place the carrot spears on the end, filling each jar. Place the Fresh Thyme (6 sprigs) evenly throughout each jar as you fill it.
3.
Combine Water (1 1/2 cups), Distilled White Vinegar (1 1/2 cups), Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp), Salt (1 Tbsp), and Mustard Seeds (1 tsp) in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to be sure the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
4.
Pour the hot brine over the carrots in each jar, being sure to completely immerse them in the liquid.
5.
Allow the contents to cool to room temperature before covering them. Transfer the jars to the refrigerator.
6.
For the best flavor and texture, wait for about 24 hours before serving. Enjoy!
Author's Notes
Yields 16-18 servings.
It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before digging into these gems. They need a chance to develop some flavor. The good news is the longer they hang out in the fridge, the more amazing the flavor will be. And as long as the carrots are refrigerated and completely submerged in the brine, they’ll last for a full four weeks.
