Zesty Maple Pickled Carrots

Zesty Maple Pickled Carrots

Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 to 3 slices jalapeño
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt

Method

1. Start by collecting all necessary ingredients for this tangy treat.
2. In a clean jar, layer the sliced carrots, fresh ginger, and optional jalapeño for an extra kick.
3. In a small pot, combine water, vinegar, maple syrup, and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil to create the pickling brine.
4. Carefully pour the hot brine over the carrot mixture in the jar until everything is submerged.
5. Seal the jar tightly and let it cool before placing it in the fridge. Allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours, but the flavors will be best after a couple of days. These pickled carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.
