Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Refrigerator Pickled Carrots.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baby carrots and let them cook until they're tender but still have a bit of crunch—this should take about 15 minutes. After that, drain the carrots and set them aside to cool.
Step 2
In a separate saucepan, combine the white sugar, white vinegar, and whole cloves. Toss in the cinnamon stick for that warm, aromatic flavor. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved. This syrup will be the magic that transforms your carrots!
Step 3
Now, transfer the cooked carrots into a bowl and pour the hot syrup over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl tightly and let it chill in the refrigerator. For the best flavor, allow the carrots to marinate for at least 3 hours, but if you can wait overnight, you'll be rewarded with even more deliciousness!
