Ingredients

  • 2 cups quartered strawberries about 1 pound
  • 2 whole vanilla beans cut down the middle
  • 1-½ teaspoons peppercorns
  • ¾ cup apple cider vinegar 180 ml
  • ¾ cup water 180 ml
  • ½ cup honey 120 ml
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a large jar add berries, vanilla beans, and peppercorns. For a more intense vanilla bean flavor scrape out 1 of the halved beans.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan add apple cider vinegar, water, honey and kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and pour over the berries.
  • Put the lid on the berries and cool to room temperature.
  • Place in the refrigerator and let sit overnight.
  • Enjoy over ice cream, yogurt or in a salad.

Notes

  • 1 pound of quartered strawberries should give you about 2 cups of strawberries. 
  • I'm calculating eight 1/4 cup servings for the whole recipe.
