TOOOOOOOOOOOO EASYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Great to keep in a jar and when you have the munchies they are there. SO Dilly good. -
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Unfortunately I didn't really like how the carrots turned out. I like the dill taste but don't like how I could still taste the sweetness of the carrots. I hoped that if I let the carrots sit in the juice longer they would have a stronger dill taste :( -
I wasn't sure what I would make of this recipe because it sounded pretty unusual but I was intrigued because I like both pickles and carrots. I was also drawn to it for the economics of using something most people throw away, such a pickle juice. I am glad I tried it because it turned about to be a good and new taste experience. The recipe was easy and I enjoyed the fresh tasting zing of the carrots. I have been eating them alongside a sandwich at lunch like I would normally do with pickles. Made for PAC Spring 2009. -
Very easy to make. I love dill pickles but this just didn't go over as well as I had hoped. These were ok, but I wouldn't make them again. Thanks for a great healthy one to try, Bergy! -
I have now made my second batch of these. I love having them in the icebox to add to a relish tray and find myself adding them to lunch time quite often. They would also be terrific for a picnic or BBQ. I leave the carrots a tiny bit crisp. Love the dill flavor! Thank you Bergy for sharing another great recipe!

Very quick and easy to make. I made them with a spicy pickle juice but I didn't get the pickle taste I had hoped for but they are pretty good. A nice side to a sandwich instead of chips. Thanks Bergy. Bullwinkle

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
