The pickling liquid for these grapes includes red wine, vinegar, and common pickling spices like coriander, mustard seeds and hot pepper; it also contains warm spices like cinnamon and star anise along with brown sugar.

Tips:
- Select the right carrots: Choose fresh, firm carrots that are about the same size for even cooking.
- Use a mandoline slicer for thin, uniform carrot ribbons: If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into thin strips.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the carrots: This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch: Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Add the grapes and almonds just before serving: This will prevent the grapes from becoming too soft and the almonds from burning.
- Season the carrots to taste: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, depending on your preference.
Conclusion:
Tangy Carrots with Grapes is a simple but flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet carrots, tart grapes, and crunchy almonds is a delight to the senses. This dish is also healthy and easy to make, making it a great choice for busy weeknights.
