How to Make Carrots In Honey And Vinegar

  1. Scrub 1 pound of carrots thoroughly and trim their green tops, leaving 3 inches if desired.
  2. Remove the root end of each carrot.
  3. Blanch the carrots in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Drain the carrots completely.
  5. In a nonreactive saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil until the honey is fully dissolved.
  6. Evenly divide the carrots into two hot, clean pint jars or one hot, clean quart jar (wide-mouth jars recommended for easier packing). Wedge the carrots in, stacking some upside down to maximize space.
  7. Carefully fill the jars with the hot liquid, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  8. Add 2 sprigs of fresh dill to each jar.
  9. Cap and seal the jars tightly.
  10. Process in a boiling-water bath canner for 30 minutes. Adjust processing time for altitude if necessary.
  11. Let the jars cool completely. Once cool, check seals to ensure they've processed correctly. You should hear a “pop” sound when sealed properly.
  12. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 2 weeks before enjoying your delicious homemade preserved carrots.
