Spiced Pickled Carrots

This is a recipe I got years ago from an old friend. I rediscovered it while cleaning out an old recipe box. It's a delicious appetizer or addition to a relish platter. Also very easy. Cooking time is refrigeration time.

• Ready In: 24 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1  lb  baby carrots
• 1  cup white wine vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup  orange juice
• 1⁄4 cup honey

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are crisp-tender.
3. Pour hot mixture into a heat safe container and cover tightly.
4. Refrigerate at least 12 hours, but 24 is better.
5. You can add a small hot pepper or two to the pot while boiling to add heat.
6. Drain to serve.
