Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Place the carrots in a saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until almost done, about 5 minutes depending on how thick you slice them. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper and onion to the bowl with the carrots.
- While the carrots are cooking, combine the vinegar, oil, tomato soup and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Pour the hot dressing over the vegetables. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container and serve within 1 week.

Followed the recipe. I chose to cut the baby carrots lengthwise & that worked out well.
Hi, this is Ela,I need to know why do we need to add sugar? Is it ok not to add sugar because I am on special diet but I don’t want to miss such good recipies. Please guide??
nice use of carrots, my mom made a similar recipe, i reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and used baby carrots. Turned out great.
sreved as a starter for a dinner party. Everyone raved about the taste. fast easy and ymmy
I loved this recipe. Serve it at at Fibers of Love lunch. I used 3 lbs of baby carrots for the FOL group. Wished I had made more so I would have had leftovers. I might make this for the Shaw Family B&B. Leslie had a recipe that included mustard and worcheshire sauce so I will make that one instead in the future.
I made as per the recipe. I enjoyed it much better cold, the next day. Classic taste.
This was a great recipe. The ingredients gave me the exact taste I was looking for.
I made this according to directions to marinade over-night. it was too sweet. after consulting the buzz, I added 1 fresh squeezed lemon and @2 tbps of worochester sauce. I still hated it. out of 10 people, 4 had seconds.
If you are trying to get your family to enjoy more carrots: this is NOT the recipe to do it with. No-one, myself included, enjoyed this dish.
Tasty. Save time by nuking carrots in microwave (1/2 cup water to every 3 cups sliced carrots, 3 to 4 mins per cup al dente). Added sliced jalapenos for some extra kick/zip. Thanks for the old-time recipe, QUIRKYIQ.
This was a wonderful recipe for summer! I always have to cook my onions though so I put them in the pot along with the carrots for the 5 min. The recipe also calls for diced green bell pepper. I chopped up the pepper very fine. I like it better this way. My mom called this recipe copper pennies.
We really liked this recipe. It’s very different from any other carrots we have made. It’s really vinegary though…probably not for everyone. Don’t make it for the first time when having guests…but thats my rule for every recipe. If its your family, and you need something different, try it.
I substituted brown sugar for the regular sugar. This is some of the best stuff I ever ate.
Just wanted to say that these are called copper carrots in my neck of the woods and were served cold at my wedding reception 33 years ago. An oldie but a goodie.
This is a Standard in our refrigerator now ! I Used to make it as a preserve But this is Much Better, We just make one week or so
Sorry, I really didn’t like it. There was just sooo much vinegar. I could only taste the acid. I think it would have been better without it.
My family liked it more than I did. Im not big on pickeled things.
Really good….made it for my daughter’s baptism luncheon, went over well. Easy and can be made several days in advance, so great for parties. We served this cold.
Love this recipe! Easy, fast and super delicious!
Absolutely delicious…will make many times…:)
Wonderful recipe. I made them for Thanksgiving and they were a hit! My grandmother used to make marinated carrots and we were not able to find her recipe so I headed to allrecipes to find one. Thanks!
