A Canadian prairie pickle that is very easy to make, delicious, nutritious and economical.
Place dill and garlic into each jar then carefully pack with carrots until reasonably snug
Boil rubber lids in water for 4-5 minutes immediately before using
Add salt and vinegar into each jar and fill with boiling water ensuring there is nothing on the rim of the jar or on the rubber of the lid
Place the hot rubbered side of the lid onto the top of the jar and hold to secure with one finger and gently screw the lid onto the jar (tighten lids the following day)
Store in cool dark place as waiting a few weeks improves the flavour and texture
You may hear popping as the pickles cool and contract the air inside of the jar, pulling the thin lid down into the jar in a concave position; that's a good thing!
