I’ll try to update this with photos tomorrow.

Wash and peel carrots. Slice into rounds 1/4″ thick or into sticks. Combine salt, water and vinegar in a pot and bring to a boil. Add spices and carrots to jars. Top with pickling liquid. Remove air bubbles, add lids. Can for 10 min in a water bath canner, adjust to your altitude.
Starting to laugh yet? I got the woman to measure out the tiny bit left and it was 3 inches short of a meter. Also the one end had a big half circle cut out of it….That just wouldn’t do for a blanket backing lol. So I found a nice winter tree print and a solid blue. I’ll use that to make one, and I’m hoping I have enough of the other prints to make a backing from…I have to pull them out tomorrow and see.
