Oh yeah, Tep, isn't there a pickle recipe in your holiday collection of recipes? We still have that at home somewhere, so I could just try that recipe and see what happens.

There probably is, I'm not sure -- you might want to use twice as much water as I suggest in that one, if it's the one I'm thinking of, because it makes pretty vinegary pickles (although if you're going to eat them within a couple days, I'm not sure the difference would be noticeable; with those, after a couple weeks they taste like vinegar in solid form).

Just realized with pickled carrots, I might be kind of thinking of my mom's carrot salad with the vinaigrette dressing and raisins.

it helps to heat the pickling mixture and pour over the veggies, thus infusing vinegary goodness into them.

pickled beets and turnips surely are fine.

The recipe I used (lifted from How To Cook Everything): 1/3 cup of salt mixed with 1 cup of boiling water. Dissolve the salt, add ice cubes, add the spices, add the vegetables, add cold water to cover. Frigerate for at least 2 days for optimal tastiness.

That was for 2 lbs of cucumbers, and carrots seem to have a totally different scene as far as water content and structure goes, but I'd say give it a go.

Carrot kimchee would be really good. I image you can use the traditional cabbage recipe here and use julienned carrots. Yummy and fun to eat with chopsticks.

So did you do it?

Oh not yet. I was too busy last weekend with a bday party for Sarah. But thanks for reminding me. I am a lazy bum.

six years pass...

Just made a pint of pickled garlic (four heads of garlic cloves) because hey, when is a clove of pickled garlic not a good addition to whatever's in the food processor?

I accidentally made some 'pickles' by leaving leftovers of a cucumber salad in the fridge for a week.
