Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the cherries by washing them thoroughly and removing the pits.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon stick, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
-
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Add the prepared cherries to the saucepan and stir gently to coat them with the pickling liquid. Let the cherries simmer in the liquid for another 5 minutes, or until they are slightly softened but still retain their shape.
-
Turn off the heat and let the Cherry Pickles cool to room temperature in the saucepan. Once cooled, transfer the cherries and pickling liquid to a clean glass jar or airtight container.
-
Refrigerate the Cherry Pickles for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and infuse into the cherries.
-
Serve the Cherry Pickles as a tasty and unexpected addition to your cheese board, antipasto platter, or hors d'oeuvres spread. You can also chop them up and add them to salads for a sweet and tangy twist.
