Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh jujube fruits
- 3 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon allspice berries
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Wash the jujube fruits thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or debris.
Using a paring knife, prick each jujube fruit multiple times to allow the pickling solution to penetrate.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, ground cinnamon, whole cloves, allspice berries, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
Carefully add the prepared jujube fruits into the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the fruits become tender and the pickling syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jujube fruits into sterilized glass jars, ensuring you leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Pour the pickling syrup into the jars, covering the fruits entirely. Use a clean skewer or chopstick to remove air bubbles by gently running it along the inner edges of each jar.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the jars for at least 3-5 days to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve your jujube pickles as a side dish, condiment, or snack. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
