Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots, sliced into sticks according to the size of your jars
  • 2 garlic cloves, halved
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 heaping teaspoon cumin seeds

Instructions

  • Divide the carrots between 2 (16-ounce) jars or 3 (10-ounce) jars. Divide the garlic and peppercorns among the jars.
  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and add the cumin and coriander seeds. Toast, stirring often, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Divide the spices among the jars.
