Pickled grapes are tangy, sweet and aromatic. They are quick and easy to make, and go well on the side of everything from fast-food to fancy dishes. 

Pickled Grapes

green grapes

thyme

star anise

tsp juniper berries

coriander seeds

tsp white peppercorns (lightly crushed)

white balsamic vinegar

white wine vinegar

unrefined cane sugar

Place fresh springs of thyme, cinnamon stick, star anise, juniper berries, coriander seeds, lightly crushed white peppercorns in the bottom of a glass pickling container. 

Slice grapes in half, and then place them on top of the spices. Cutting the grapes allow the pickling flavour to get into the grapes. 

Mix cane sugar, white wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar in a saucepan. Heat the mixture in saucepan on the stove while stirring, until sugar completely dissolves. Turn off the heat immediately.

Let the sugar-vinegar solution cool and pour over the grapes. Close the jar, let the grapes pickle in room temperature for 1 day.

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the whole spices (except for the ginger, bay leaves and pepper flakes) until very fragrant.  Be careful not to let them burn.  Let cool completely.  Toasting the spices will greatly enhance their flavor.Combine all of the ingredients and store in an airtight jar in a dark, cool place.  Will keep for several months.  Makes roughly 1/2 cup pickling spice.

Great pickling spice blend!  The version I used to make was much more basic and I really like the addition of some of the more "exotic" flavors in this.  I'll continue using this blend.  Thank you!

Really nice pickling spice.  I used everything but the juniper berries because I didn't have any.  My go-to blend now, thank you.
