Spring Carrot Pickles With Caraway
- 1 to 2 cups very thinly sliced carrots (slice on the diagonal), preferably an assortment of young orange, yellow and purple carrots from the farmers' market
- 2 t. caraway seeds
- 1/2 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1 T. sherry vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 1/4 t. kosher salt
- 1. Place the carrots and caraway seeds in a bowl or jar.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well.
- 3. Pour over the carrots and caraway, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks. These taste best with a longer brine, as the caraway has more time to infuse the brine. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the carrots to keep them submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.
- Advance preparation: These will be good for a couple of weeks. They're best left in the brine for at least 5 days before serving.
