This time of year, I pull out the last of the carrots and make pickled carrots. I love pickled carrots. I am not so fond of having to let them sit for 2 weeks before you can open them.
Also, the missus has just about forgiven me for the mess.

They are delicious. A touch of spice, garlic and oregano. Pickled carrots, pickled green beans, pepperoni, smoked cheese and a good beer make for a fine afternoon on the deck.Never heard of pickled carrots.
Looks good thou.
Thanks, B.
Looks good Disco! I haven't had pickled carrots in ages... What kind did you grow?
That's good to know - thanks
Thanks, B.
I bought a new variety called "Sweetness". Don't bother. They are ok but aren't particularly sweet. I will likely go back to Nantes next year.

It is the one I usually grew but, I am sad to admit, I was taken in by the press and the name on the new carrot. The lesson is learned, stick to the old favourites.

Thanks, Kat.Looks nice Disco! You are just becoming a canning whiz! Love the stack of jars!

Thanks, Foamheart.
Pop made pickled carrots, his had a pepper kick to them. One friend would always beg a jar for his Bloody Marys, (I guess if I have to capitalize Mary I might as well capitalize Bloody too). Pop always at the end of the season, became the mad scientist of pickle chemistry. I swear he tried one year to make pickled strawberries! Mom made the normal sweet, sour, dill, bread and butter, type pickles but Pop came up with stuff you probably had to be drinking and having pickled eggs to go with ..... ROFLMAO
Nice looking pickles Disco. I just love the look of stuff, especially the bright colors, canned in a mason jar. Its almost like stained glass art.

Thanks, Case. If you haven't tried it, green tomato mincemeat pie filling is delicious.Looks great Disco! Love dilly carrots as we call them. We add a bunch of dill per jar.
Unfortunately a sign of fall for us is 300+ green tomatoes!!!
Thanks! Swing on by, the beer is in the fridge.Carrots look good... the afternoon on the deck with those snacks does sound fabulous!
Please Kat, don't start me on mincemeat. MIncemeat pie with hard sauce not only brings Christmas to mind, it makes me drool just thinking about it.
I love the regular mincemeat....Thanksgiving and Christmas is not right with out a pie or 2!
I have a recipe for Green tomato chow-chow......just saying!

Not really. It has some spices in common but it isn't as mustardy as picadilly and has a different texture with the cabbage.
Like Picadilly?
Thanks, Willie.
Ahhhhh, sweet looking carrots there Disco. Pickling to me is amazing stuff that I am just getting into. Kraut, red cabbage, pickles, beans, hot peppers...the list is endless. Getting the brine ready for another batch of pickled eggs now.....amazing how something as lowly as a pickled spicy egg can jazz up an afternoon. I have 4 hot Thai Chili plants in the bed still, getting the last of the Summer sun......some will definitely hit the pickling juice.....Willie
