Five star plus, taste and eye appeal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like the recipe. I did make a few minor changes. Not being able to calculate 11 cups into lbs. I started with two pounds of carrots, peeled and cut to length for pint jars, quartered and found out that I should have prepared six lbs for the six pint yield. I sliced the red and green peppers, one medium each and placed them in the jars vertically. This gave the contents real color. I used three cloves of garlic for each pint and used one medium jalapeno pepper, chopped, placing approximately one sixth in each pint. I added about 12 black peppercorns to each pint. No other variations, the brine is almost like a health drink in it's self. The extra jalapeno is for my fire eating friends, It sure is a great way to fix the carrots, kind of a new twist to a carrot stick. (no pun intended) I think the carrots could be served warm as a main dish or cold as part of a veggie bar. Great posting.

I canned these in September and opened my first jar a couple months later. The carrots and pickling liquid had great flavour, but my personal preference would be to use less sugar. The oregano added a unique twist. I would also cut the carrots less thinly than I did this time as they are not as crunchy as I would like.
