Ingredients
- 1 cup of whole sour cherries, unpitted
- A dash of salt, around ½ teaspoon
- 1 cup of high-grade white vinegar, adjust amount as required
Step 1
Begin by gently washing the cherries until they sparkle, allowing them to bask on a shiny metal baking sheet under the warm embrace of the sun for about 60 minutes to ensure they are impeccably dry.
Step 2
Next, lovingly transfer the cherries into a spotlessly sterilized jar with a vibrant plastic lid, sprinkling a pinch of salt over them like confetti. Slowly pour the vinegar into the jar, watching as it cascades around the cherries, enveloping them in its tangy embrace. Seal the jar tightly with the lid, allowing the flavors and hues to mingle and mature over the next 3 to 4 weeks in a cozy corner of your kitchen.
Step 3
As a thoughtful tip, remember to give the jar an occasional gentle shake to encourage the cherries to soak up all the delightful flavors. Once the waiting period is over, savor the fruits of your patience by storing the jar in the refrigerator to enjoy the delicious pickled cherries whenever your heart desires.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize Mason jars with airtight lids to preserve the tangy goodness of pickled cherries.
- 2. Store the jars in a cool, dark place to maintain the vibrant color and zesty flavor of the cherries.
