Buying pickles for the holiday season can get expensive. Raw carrots are cheap to buy and healthy. I found an easy and quick receipe that will let you pickle carrots without using the canning process.
The carrots will stay good in your fridge for six weeks. They are delicious! If you were to buy a jar of pickled carrots in the grocery store, you would have to pay anywhere from $5-10 a jar! Cutting up the carrots are well worth the fruits of your labor.
Total Time: 1 Hour
Yield: about 8 to 10 jars

- 4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 1/4 cup dill seeds

Steps:
