~1 lb carrots, tops removed, peeled if needed, sliced into sticks
2/3 cup distilled white or apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup water
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp organic cane sugar ((or stevia to taste))

Steps:

  • Add carrots to a large mason jar or glass container. Set aside.
  • To a small saucepan add distilled white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to fully dissolve salt and sugar. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or sugar to taste.
  • Pour the brine over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, add more vinegar or a little water to cover.
  • Seal well and shake to combine. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will deepen and intensify the longer it marinates. Best flavor is achieved after 24 hours.
