Steps:
- Combine carrots, 1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon, butter, vinegar and honey in heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil.

Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for small, tender baby carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Prepare the carrots properly: Wash the carrots thoroughly and trim off the tops. Leave the carrots whole or cut them into bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
- Use a clean jar: Make sure the jar you use for pickling the carrots is clean and sterilized. This will help to prevent spoilage.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the pickled carrots. For a classic flavor, use white vinegar. For a more complex flavor, try using apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
- Add your favorite spices and herbs: Feel free to add your favorite spices and herbs to the pickling liquid. Some popular choices include garlic, dill, and peppercorns.
- Let the carrots pickle for at least two weeks: The longer you let the carrots pickle, the more flavorful they will become. However, you can enjoy them after just a few days if you are impatient.
Conclusion:
Pickled tarragon baby carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are also a great way to use up extra carrots from your garden. So next time you have a bunch of carrots on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
