Always liked the tune, anyway. Thanks for the giggle.

Thanks for making it all so clear… but l am starting to think that I might just make coleslaw with those carrots and stick to preserving the fruit. LOL!

I'm wondering how head space affects the botulism question? I have a friend who pickled beets (similar, I believe, to carrots in their low-acid status) but in several of his jars (1 L Mason jars) the beets are an inch or more above the surface of the brine and an inch or more from the jar top.

All of the jars sealed properly so I guess I'm wondering if the pseudo-vaccuum above the brine is better, the same, or worse for botulism than a properly high-acid brine? Should he be concerned?

On the CDC website they state that, when in doubt, boiling for 10 minutes will destroy the botulin toxin. Of course, this is easier done with tomatoes (I just made a big pot of sauce) than with carrots but is good to know. Maybe you could be creative with your pickled carrots and boil them down into a chutney or relish.
