Quick Pickled Grapes

Condiment

Quick Pickled Grapes – an unusual way to use an abundance of grapes, covered in a sweet, tangy brine, they make an excellent snack or topping on sourdough!

Quick Pickled Grapes

When you think of pickling, grapes probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind. I mean, after all, who pickles grapes?

Grapes are for eating plain…

Or, if you have a bunch, you can use them to make grape jam. 

Grapes can also be used to make a lovely sourdough starter, and they can easily be dehydrated, too. But pickling grapes – though uncommon, is the most delicious way to use up a bunch in a hurry.

 

Quick Pickled Grapes

Quick Pickled Grapes require just a few simple ingredients:

  • vinegar (or, if you choose, apple cider vinegar)
  • granulated sugar
  • pickling spice
  • cinnamon sticks (optional but highly recommended)
  • water

I prefer to pickle in smaller quantities – this recipe will yield two pint jars with a narrow lid. I love using narrow lid canning jars for small items (like grapes) because I prefer for them to sit under the neck of the jar. Sometimes when you are using wide mouth jars, the grapes will continue to float to the top – when you use a narrow jar, they can be packed tightly and remain under the curve of the neck.

Pickled Grapes

Boil the vinegar and water with the sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Pack the jars tightly adding the pickling spice and cinnamon stick to each jar first, then stuff in the rinsed grapes. 

Once the brine has cooled, pour over the contents of each jar. Top with your lid and ring, and give the jars a shake, turn upside down, and allow to rest on the counter for 20-30 minutes before refrigerating.

Quick Pickled Grapes

While they can be eaten immediately, it’s best to allow 4-5 hours, if not overnight, for the flavors to come together.

How to Enjoy Quick Pickled Grapes

Enjoy as is – with a spoon straight from the jar, or eat on top of cream-cheese topped sourdough bread, lightly toasted.

Don’t have time for sourdough? This cheater no-knead artisan bread is my favorite reliable recipe.

    […] When you think of making pickles, avocados probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind. It is fairly common to pickle with cucumbers, zucchini, perhaps even grapes (yes, grapes!) […]
