How To Make moroccan pickled carrots

Step 1

Tightly pack carrot sticks longways in a clean 1 qt mason jar you should have two layers.

Step 2

Top carrots with garlic, lemon peel and chili peppers, crumbling one of the peppers. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top.

Bring water, salt, vinegar, sugar, cumin and coriander to a boil over medium high heat stirring occasionally. Once sugar has fully dissolved, continue to boil for 3-5 minutes.
