  • Cooling Process: Allow the jar to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours before sealing and refrigerating.
  • Ready to Enjoy: For the best flavor, let the carrots pickle for at least 24 hours, though 48 hours is ideal for full flavor absorption. They can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
