Overnight Spiced Carrots

Ingredients:

5 medium carrots
4 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
1 jalapeño chili pepper
1 tsp red or black peppercorns
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
2/3 cup apple-cider vinegar

Directions:

Peel carrots; cut into sticks about 3 inches (7.5cm) long and 1/4 inch (6mm) thick. In medium pot, combine carrots and enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes. Drain; set carrots aside to cool slightly. In a pickling jar or glass bowl, combine garlic, pepper, peppercorns, sugar and salt. Stir in cold water and vinegar, mixing until sugar dissolves. Add carrots, cover and refrigerate overnight.

TIP!Snack on these zesty low-POINT carrot sticks, or cut them up and mix into
salads for extra flavor.
