In this video, I dive into all things carrots! From washing and scrubbing to preserving, I walk you through different methods I use to keep carrots fresh and crunchy for as long as possible. I try my homemade pickled carrots with ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and they turned out delicious—perfect for snacking or stir fries. I also share tips on canning carrots without them getting too soft, using pickle crisp to maintain their firmness, and how I store fresh carrots in water to last for months. Plus, I talk about different ways to freeze or shred carrots for soups, sauces, and more. If you have your own favorite methods for preserving carrots, I'd love to hear your ideas in the comments!
Here's the video where I canned the pickled carrots ♥ youtu.be/EpY9fFOHJGo?si=g2XJQ67VxCH4z6s2
