   How to pickle cucumbers with carrots? Prepare all the necessary products. Take cucumbers fresh, recently harvested, small in size, with pimples. If you do not know when the cucumbers were harvested and what degree of freshness they are, then soak them in ice water for a few hours beforehand. My carrots are also fresh, young, but since we are going to cut them into mugs, they should not be too thick.

   Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I put cans of water in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But it is quite possible to sterilize them over steam, or in the oven at 100 degrees for 15 minutes, or put a spoon in each jar so that the jar does not burst, pour boiling water and leave for 10 minutes, then drain the water. Just boil the lids for 5 minutes.
