Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a 1-quart jar
  1. Heat 1 1/2 cups water and 2 tablespoons kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, bay leaves and garlic and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt and sugar, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Pack the carrots and celery into a 1-quart jar. Pour in the hot brine to cover completely (you might not use all the brine). Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover the jar and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 2 weeks.
