1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt

What to Do

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add carrots and cook just until crisp-tender; drain and set aside to cool.

Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. Drain marinade and serve.

OMG, I totally forgot about this recipe that I used to make! Haven't made it in so many years, decades. Thanks for positing this because I'm going to make this for Christmas, I think!

I've been making this for years and years...in the south we call it "copper pennies." It's a wonderful dish to take to picnics or pot lucks AND it keeps for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator...althought it never lasts that long in this house!! )
