I love the pickled carrots served at the Mexican restaurants where I live. They are so good to eat with a burrito. After doing some research and experiementation I came up with this recipe. It is pretty much dead on for the taste I wanted. I will often take these for lunch to eat with a sandwich. They go well with almost any grilled meat.

Ingredients For hot pickled carrots

How To Make hot pickled carrots

  • 1
    Place all ingredients in a non reactive pot (stainless or enamel) and bring to a boil.
  • 2
    Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes until the carrots are just tender crisp. You still want them to be rather crispy.
  • 3
    Turn off heat and let cool. Put into a jar or other container and refrigerate for a few days to blend flavors and let veggies cure.
  • 4
    If you taste these right away and they do not seem hot enough, give them time. The flavor and heat will develop. Enjoy!
