The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups ripe berries or cherries
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 allspice berries
  • 6 pink peppercorns
  • 2 cloves

Instruction

  • Wash and sterilize jars and lids.
  • Wash fruit, you can remove stems and pits, but you don’t have to – personal preference.
  • Put fruit into jars leaving 1/4 inch space at the top.
  • Over medium heat combine water, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, peppercorns and cloves.
  • Let simmer 8-10 min then remove cinnamon stick, (I left the rest of the spices in).
  • Pour into jars over the packed fruit, again leaving 1/4 inch at the top.
  • I immersed the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 min, removed and let cool.
  • Allow to sit 24-48 hours before serving.
