mmmmm...carrot pickles

this year i had a very prosperous carrot crop... so what do i do with all these carrots?!?!?!
i remember enjoying pickled carrots (and beans!) growing up.
i had never made them before and was discussing this with a co-worker...she seemed interested to learn how!
since both of us had never made pickled carrots before (OR EVEN CANNED for that matter!), we decided to tackle this little experiment last saturday afternoon!
this saturday, a jar was opened and did not last very long! so the experiment worked!

erica peeled so many carrots! THX dear!

a science lesson was refreshed here!

look at that wouldja?

of course, i didn't have fresh dill....BUT...did you know in the frozen aisle of wholesale club they have frozen fresh dill??? just like the fresh stuff...what a lifesaver!

now to seal and listen for a "pop"!

mmmm... couldn't wait to enjoy these!
