I have been making this recipe since I saw the pickling episode years ago. I make it whenever I have leftover baby carrots at the end of the week. The only changes I've made to it is I use half the sugar and a little more dried chilis. It is a great snacking veggie, and antipasti appetizer.

Good recipe, great process. I like it hot so once I tried it I made some changes so it was less sweeter and a little hotter.

By far one of the best "non-pickle" pickle recipes I've ever tried. Easy to put together, the hardest thing is waiting to try them. Give this one a shot!!! 12-20-2011: Since my original review I've tried a few different modifications of the recipe with mixed results including adding minced garlic, dill, and other spices. The only good variation so far is adding 1 tlbs of dried dill before the boil. The rest have just thrown off the balance in the recipe.
