The carrots are not peeled but rubbed clean with coarse salt in a cloth – an old trick that preserves the outermost, sweet layer.
Clean the carrots
Brush and wash the carrots, then rub them clean in a cloth with coarse salt and rinse them in clean water.
Blanch
Blanch the carrots for 5 minutes in salted water, 10 g salt per liter of water.
Cool and fill the jars
Cool the carrots in cold water and pack them into clean jars.
Brine and sterilization
Pour brine (10 g salt per liter of water) over them, close the jars and sterilize 90 minutes at 100 °C (210 °F).
The amount of carrots is not given in the original; provided as a practical starting point. The salt ratio (10 g/l) has been kept.
