Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar

  • ½ cup water

  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar

  • ½ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 3–4 whole black peppercorns

  • Optional: a small sprig of rosemary or a strip of lemon zest

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, honey, salt, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Place the blueberries in a clean jar.
  • Pour the hot brine over the blueberries, making sure they’re fully submerged.
  • Let cool to room temperature, then seal the jar and refrigerate.
  • Chill for at least 24 hours before using — flavor deepens over time.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks.
  • You can gently press the blueberries to slightly burst them before pickling for a juicier texture.
  • For a spicier variation, add a slice of fresh ginger or a red chili flake or two.
