Pickled Carrots

[Two_Sheds]

It should work, shouldn't it?

550g carrots, julienne or just sliced
45g peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger
100g sugar
500ml white wine vinegar (I'm going to try balsamic)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp mustard seeds


Makes 3-4 jars

They do this in Japan with Mooli - or Daikon.

Yep, should work.

i've done pickled courgette and also cuke this year so this deffo appeals too....

I've eaten 2 jars already, they are nom nom
