Pickled Carrots and Onions

A friend has been asking if I can make the pickled carrots that they serve in Mexican restaurants, so this weekend I gave it a shot.  I used this recipe from Food.com.  I haven't had these carrots myself, so I'll have to wait to see what my friend thinks!

Since I was pickling, I decided to also try making sweet pickled onions like some I had last summer.  I used this recipe from Heather Christo, and they turned out great!  I was very tempted to eat the entire jar when I opened them this afternoon ...

Please note - these have been jarred, but not processed.
