Ingredients
Instructions
-
Gently wash the raspberries under cold water and let them dry completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
-
Using a fork or a potato masher, lightly crush the raspberries while leaving some whole for texture.
-
Transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar, leaving some room at the top.
-
Use a spoon or a clean chopstick to press the raspberries down and release any air bubbles.
-
Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and place it in a cool, dark spot to ferment.
-
Allow the relish to ferment for 2-3 days, checking the flavor along the way until a pleasant tanginess develops.
-
Once it reaches your desired level of fermentation, store the relish in the refrigerator to slow down the fermenting process.
-
Enjoy the relish by spooning it over grilled meats, salads, cheeses, or adding it to yogurt.
