Quick Pickled Grapes

Step 1

Prepare the grapes: pluck them from the stem and either cut off a small portion of the top for smaller grapes, or cut in half for large grapes. This cut is important for allowing the pickling liquid to infuse. Place the cut grapes into a clean 1 quart glass jar.

Step 2

In a small pot add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and let boil for about 1 minute. Then turn off the heat and let cool for at least 15 minutes. Take the cinnamon stick and bay leaves and nestle them into grapes so they don't just float on top, then pour the pickling liquid into the glass jar. If needed add a little extra water or vinegar to fully cover the grapes. Let cool to room temperature before putting the lid on, then transfer to the refrigerator. Give them at least a day to pickle before eating (if you can!) and they should last a week.
