Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black currants
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Whole mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Whole coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill
- 2 units Garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
Instructions
Rinse the black currants thoroughly under cold water and set aside to drain.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Stir until the salt is dissolved and then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add the mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns to the vinegar mixture. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
In a clean glass jar or multiple smaller jars, place the fresh dill sprigs and smashed garlic cloves at the bottom.
Fill the jar(s) with the rinsed black currants, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
Carefully pour the hot vinegar and spice mixture over the black currants, ensuring they are completely covered. Tap the jar gently to release any trapped air bubbles.
Seal the jar(s) with airtight lids. Allow the pickle to cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
Let the pickle sit for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For optimal taste, wait 5-7 days before consuming.
Serve the Whole30 Black Currants Pickle as a tangy addition to salads, grilled meats, or as a zesty snack.
