Ingredients
- 1 pound mixed color baby carrots, peeled and stems trimmed to about 1-inch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dill seeds
- 1 cup cider vinegar

Cook, shaking skillet, until the spices are fragrant and lightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes; transfer to a small Anolon® Authority 3 Qt. Covered Saucepan. To the saucepan add the vinegar, sugar, bay leaf, garlic, salt, pepper flakes and 1 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
