Spicy Pickled Carrots

This is a super simple recipe that can be made quickly  and enjoyed after a few days.

What you'll need:

• A Jar
• Enough carrots to fill that jar
• A backup Jar incase you cut up too many carrots.
• Rice vinegar, 
• Siracha Hot Sauce
• Sugar 
• Salt
• Water

5 simple ingredients and a few utensils!  

Step 1: Chop

First we'll need to peal and trim the carrots

Then cut the carrots into equal lengths, I go for around 1.5"-2" and aim for an oversized match stick.  This could be much quicker if you have a mandolin, otherwise just cut them up as best you can by hand.

This is a good time to check to see if you need more, or like me cut too many.

Once you have your jars packed to about 1/2 inch under the top; you can figure out how much pickling liquid you'll need by topping them up with water and then measuring how much you needed.

I had a jar of banana peppers that I used to pickle some whole baby carrots in.

I make quick-pickled carrots sometimes for tofu sandwiches - I might need to try this for long term carrot pickles!
