CANNED SWEET PICKLED CARROTS



Canned Sweet Pickled Carrots image

How to make Canned Sweet Pickled Carrots recipe, just the right amount of sweet and tangy! These are water bath boiled canned pickled carrots.

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Appetizer

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 1/2 cups peeled garden fresh small carrots
5 1/2 cups white distilled vinegar 5%
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons canning salt
3 tablespoons pickling spice
4 pint jars

Steps:

  • Wash and rinse the pint canning jars. IF you can, keep hot until ready to use. - this can be done by placing them on a baking sheet, placing them in the oven and turning it on the lowest temperature.
  • Prepare the lids and the sealing bands according to the manufacturer's directions, which should be written on the box or available on the product website.
  • Wash the small carrots well and peel, if desired. I like them both ways.
  • Combine the vinegar, water, sugar and canning salt in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and boil gently for 3 minutes. ( you don't want to boil hard and boil off the liquid too much)
  • Add the carrots and bring back to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer and heat until the carrots are half-cooked (about 10 minutes). If you want crunchier carrots, boil until the outsides are just soft ( so that they can still absorb the vinegar) and then remove.
  • Divide the pickling spice evenly between the 4 jars, placing it into the bottom. Fill the still warm jars with the hot carrots, leaving 1-inch headspace. ( that's one inch from the top) Cover the carrots with the hot pickling liquid, leaving a ½-inch headspace this time around . Remove any air bubbles by poking a knife through the carrots and liquid and adjust the headspace if needed.
  • Wipe the rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel and then place the two pieces canning lids on.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water canner for the following times- feet are above sea level: 0 - 1,000 feet - process for 15 minutes, 1,001 - 6,000 feet process for 20 minutes,and above 6,000 feet process 25 minutes.
  • Let cool, undisturbed, 12 to 24 hours and then check to make sure that the seals are set ( they will indent and POP loudly)
  • Let the carrots sit for a good 3-5 days before eating but they get better and better the longer they sit!

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select young, tender carottes with bright orange color and no signs of damage or blemishes.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces or slices to ensure even cooking and canning.
  • Use a hot water bath: Canning sweet carrots requires a hot water bath method. Make sure to follow the recommended processing times and temperatures specified in the recipe to ensure the safety and quality of the canned carrots.
  • Sterilize jars and lids: Before filling the jars with carrots, sterilize them by boiling them in hot water for 10 minutes. Also, sterilize the lids by simmering them in hot water for 5 minutes.
  • Pack the jars tightly: Pack the carrot pieces or slices tightly into the sterilized jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  • Add the canning liquid: Pour the prepared canning liquid, typically a mixture of water, sugar, vinegar, and spices, into the jars, covering the carrots completely.
  • Process the jars: Place the filled jars in a boiling water bath canner and process them for the recommended time specified in the recipe. This step is crucial for creating a vacuum seal and ensuring the safety and shelf stability of the canned carrots.
  • Cool and store the jars: After processing, remove the jars from the canner and let them cool for 24 hours at room temperature. Once cooled, check the seals to ensure they have formed properly. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for long-term storage.
