Carrots can be preserved using the method of canning by first washing and peeling them, then cutting them into desired sizes. Next, blanch the carrots in boiling water for a few minutes before packing them into sterilized jars. Finally, cover the carrots with boiling water or a brine solution, seal the jars, and process them in a pressure canner according to the recommended guidelines for preserving vegetables.
