Fill the jar with the blanched carrot sticks and garlic cloves. In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, brown sugar, water, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil and add the mustard seeds and peppercorns. Simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer. While vinegar mixture is still hot, ladle into the carrot and garlic filled jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe rim with a clean damp cloth and seal jar with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath (making sure water level is 1 inch over the top of the jars) for 10 minutes. Remove from water bath and allow to cool on the counter.
