- ten 1/2-ounce carrots (or enough to fill your jar), peeled and chopped
- about 2–3 tablespoons fine salt
- 4 cup water (or enough to cover your carrots)
- Add your favorite flavor combination to the jar if you wish. Fill the jar with the carrots.
- Make a brine with the salt and water (see below) and pour over the carrots, using as much as you need to cover them completely.
- Follow and weigh them down (see below) and seal the jar.
- They are ready to eat when you think they are delicious (about a week). When you’ve decided they are sour enough, pop them into the fridge for safekeeping. They’ll last for months like that.
