Well, after weeks of anticipation and preparation, today we start our journey. Mom and Dad picked us up at 4:30am and took us to the airport.
Dill Pickled Carrots
Submitted by scott on Mon, 2008-11-03 04:30Dill Pickled Carrots
(Nov 2008)
I had lots of small carrots this year, so figured pickling was the best way to go. This is what I did. I will add tasting notes later.
UPDATE: Well, I ate one jar already. I guess that means they're okay. They might be a touch too spicy for my 6yo, but I thought they were very good. (Actually, she dove into them too, so maybe not too spicy.)
