How to Make Shaker Style Pickled Carrots

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced carrots and onions with the apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp but still firm. Be careful not to overcook.
  3. Remove the carrots and onions from the saucepan using a slotted spoon. Immediately rinse under ice-cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  4. In the same saucepan, stir in the sugar, salt, peppercorns, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and add the dill sprigs. Gently return the carrots and onions to the saucepan.
  6. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove from heat and let the carrots cool completely in the pickling liquid.
  8. Once cooled, transfer the carrots and onions to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  9. Serve chilled, using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid before enjoying.
