Recipe: Pickled Beets and Carrots

Pickled beets and carrots – a bit of spice for your tastebuds. A co-worker gave me some fresh garden beets and carrots and I thought I’d try my hand at pickling them. The Spice Merchant has some very fragrant pickling spices so I thought, let’s do this! Okay, here we go.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of pickling spice
• 3 cups of fresh carrots
• 3 cups of fresh beets

First up, gather all of your ingredients and wash two mason jars. Let’s get these pickled beets and carrots going.

In a flat pan pour in the vinegar and pickling spices. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes.

While the spice is simmering, wash and cut the carrots and beets. I left my beets uncooked for added texture and crunch. They turned out well so it’s worth a try.

Layer the carrots in one jar and the beets in the other.

Now, cover with the pickling spice. I left all of my spice in the jar for added heat. If you’re not looking for a lot of heat in the pickling, then strain out the spices before filling the jars.

Ensure you cover all the carrots and beets.

Done – you now have pickled beets and carrots. Put in the fridge for at least 24 hours before you eat them. Also, they will keep up to 3 weeks.

These pickled beets and carrots are delicious. We eat them for lunch or snack on them when dinner is taking longer than expected. Overall, they are good. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your Friday! See you again soon.
