Pickled Carrot Ribbons and Sweet Onion Cabbage Jam

Pickled Carrot Ribbons

We combined two recipes on this crostini, but you can enjoy them separately, too.

Pickled Carrot Ribbons: After a soak in our tangy vinegar brine, carrot ribbons become ultracrunchy pickles.

Sweet Onion Cabbage Jam: The perfect marriage of savory and sweet, our jam plays well on sandwiches and crostini. It's also tasty swirled into sour cream for a tangy dip.
