    You'll love the flavor of these canned carrots! They taste great in sandwiches, salads, and wraps–and can even be used to top pizzas or buddha bowls.

    How to Make Spicy Carrots

    1. Add garlic, jalapeños, and pepper flakes to jars.
    2. Prep carrots and pack into jars.
    3. Boil vinegar, add sugar & salt, & pour into jars.
    4. Use the boiling-water method to can your carrots.
    5. Let cool, check seals, & store up to 1 year.

    Full directions for how to make Spicy Carrots are in the printable recipe card below.

    Spicy Carrots FAQs

    Do I have to make my carrots spicy?

    I like these carrots really hot, so I use a combination of jalapeño peppers and red pepper flakes. You can reduce the heat by adding fewer peppers or omitting the flakes. Make sure to sample your peppers for heat, as their potency varies.

    How long do these spicy carrots last?

    Unopened, your canned carrots will last up to 1 year. After opening, however, you should eat your carrots within a week or two. The brine will help to preserve the opened carrots for longer, but you should still store the opened jars in the refrigerator with the lid on.

    Here are more canning and preserving recipes on VegKitchen.

    Servings: 3 pints
    Calories: 454kcal
    Author: Veg Kitchen

    Ingredients

    • 5 garlic cloves sliced
    • 1 jalapeño peppers sliced, with seeds
    • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional
    • 2 lbs carrots
    • 4 cups distilled white vinegar
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 tbsp salt

    Instructions

    • Divide the garlic, sliced jalapeños, and pepper flakes—if using—among three clean, hot, pint canning jars.
    • Trim, peel, and cut the carrots 1 inch shorter than the jars. Pack the carrots into the jars.
    • Bring the vinegar to a boil in a large nonreactive saucepan.
    • Add the sugar and salt, and stir to dissolve.
    • Pour the brine over the carrots, covering the vegetables by ½ inch with liquid. Leave ½ inch of headspace between the top of the liquid and the lid.
    • Use the boiling-water method to can your carrots.
    • Release trapped air. Wipe the rims clean; center lids on the jars and screw on jar bands. Process for 15 minutes.
    • Turn off heat, remove canner lid, and let jars rest in the water for 5 minutes.
    • Remove jars and set aside for 24 hours. Check seals, then store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

    Notes

    The boiling-water method is necessary to tenderize these cold-pack pickles.
