There is an ample supply of rainbow carrots right now in the stores, so I have been making up batches of Spicy Pickled Mexican Carrots. They are super tasty and fun to bring over to impromptu gatherings. I brought this over to a BBQ the other night and people were raving about them! They make great snacks served with cheese, or with Mexican food.

I place my carrots verically and as tightly packed as possible when putting in a jar.
Pur liquid on top from pot & put in refridgerator to cool further for 2-3 hours (optimally before serving or bringing to a party!)
These will keep for a week after opening jar. If you can do these a day in advance, then they will have better flavor and be chilled for serving.
Makes about 8 cups of carrots.
