If everyone is going to offer procedures that will masticate the carrots then
why did we need to know that they are "baby carrots"?

PICKLED BABY CARROTS AND ZUCCHINI
35 to 40 baby carrots with tops (about 1 pound), stems trimmed to about 3/4
inch
and carrots peeled
16 to 20 baby zucchini (about 1/2 pound), washed, trimmed, and halved
lengthwise
3/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup sugar
five 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh gingerroot
2 large garlic cloves, halved
6 fresh tarragon sprigs
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

In a sterilized 1-quart Mason-type jar (procedure follows) decoratively arrange
carrots and zucchini standing up.

In a saucepan bring remaining ingredients to a boil and simmer, stirring
occasionally, 3 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Pour hot pickling mixture
over vegetables and arrange tarragon sprigs on top. Cool pickled vegetables
completely. Wipe rim of jar with a dampened cloth and seal jar with lid. Chill
pickled vegetables at least overnight to develop flavor. Pickled vegetables
keep, covered and chilled, 1 month.

To Sterilize Jars And Glasses For Pickling:
Wash jars in hot suds and rinse in scalding water. Put jars and lids in a
kettle and cover with hot water. Bring water to a boil, covered, and boil jars
15 minutes from time that steam emerges from kettle. Turn off heat and let jars
stand in hot water. Just before they are filled invert jars onto a kitchen
towel to dry. (Jars should be filled while still hot.)

Makes about 1 quart.
