Here's a good way to get rid of 5 or 10 pounds. I made a few jars last
week:

Hot And Spicy Carrots

4 hot peppers
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. rosemary
2 lb. carrots, cut 3" long
2 c. water
2 c. white vinegar
3 T. sugar
3 T. salt

Halve peppers, lengthwise [thinly sliced habanero is good]. In each
of 4 pint jars, put in 1 pepper, 1 garlic clove, and 1/4 teaspoon
rosemary.
Pack jars full of carrots. Combine water, vinegar, sugar and salt and
bring to a boil in large kettle. Pour over carrots to fill jars.
Get air bubbles out, adjust caps. Process in boiling water bath for 10
minutes.
