Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cherries
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Rinse dry and remove the pits from the cherries with a pitter or a sharp paring knife
  • In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients with 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil
  • Carefully pour the cooled pickling liquid over the cherries in the glass jar. Ensure that the cherries are fully submerged
  • Leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top of the jar and refrigerate the cherries for 3-4 days before you use them.

Notes

  • For the best texture, let the cherries pickle for at least 3-4 days before serving. The longer they sit, the deeper and more complex the sweet-tangy flavor becomes.
  • Make sure the pickling liquid is completely cooled before pouring it over the cherries. This helps the cherries stay firm and juicy instead of turning soft.
  • Feel free to customize the flavor with warm spices and herbs like star anise, cloves, cinnamon, orange zest, or thyme for a more festive flavor profile.
