(Slightly modified image from the glorious Hyperbole and a Half. Head on over and read everything. Seriously. You’re welcome.)
Last Fall, I learned to make jam with some friends. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with pickling. Well, obsessed with the idea of pickling, and yes, pickling, not jam-making as jam-making is considerably more work. Pickling, for the win! I got myself some Ball jars and was ready to go.
I gave out pickled okra to family for Christmas in an attempt to be all homemade and precious. The batch came out a little briny, though, so perhaps the lesson learned was that your first attempt at a new skill likely won’t be under-the-Christmas-tree worthy.
Yesterday, I decided to pickle a pound of carrots (using the recipe found here).
I had plenty of time to peel and chop while waiting for my canner to boil. That wait is probably the least-fun part of pickling. I’ll avoid any pictures of the boiling as 1) you’ve likely seen water boil before, and 2) Dang! Our stovetop is a MESS!
Finished product = 2 pints of pickled carrots:
They need to pickle-ify now, so we won’t know the outcome for another twenty-four hours. I’m damn proud of them, regardless.

I love Hyperbole and a Half! Especially that post. I never would have thought to pickle carrots. Sounds like fun!

Mmm, pickles. Only sour/dill for me please. 🙂
I love the spicy pickled carrots that come with some Mexican food. So I imagine these taste a bit like those. Crunch, crunch.

Thanks! I’m going to try this. Especially since it’s freezing where I am right now – St. John’s, Newfoundland, and it seems like a thing to do when it’s cold.

Love this idea! I just canned my first batch of jam ever – whoah what a hot sticky mess! I think you’re right, pickling might be the way to go. If we both start pickling now, taste it, perfect it, try it again, it might just be gift giving worthy for the holiday season! 😛

Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my

Would you advise starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Kudos!
