  1. Wash a wide-mouth pint mason jar and its lid in hot soapy water. Then rinse and let air dry.
  2. eel and cut the carrots into sticks, about 1/2-inch thick and the correct length that will fit in the ar. If you prefer, you can slice them into rounds instead. Fill the jar with the carrots.
  3. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them in quarters. In a small saucepan, combine the garlic, vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns and bay leaves.
  4. Once boiling, remove from the heat and pour the brine into the jar. Tap the jar on the counter to release any air bubbles. Discard any remaining brine.
