Pickled Raisins
These pickled raisins are little bursts of sweet, tart and slightly spicy flavor that are perfect to jazz up your grilled meats, salads and more!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Heat water in a pot over medium heat. Add the black peppercorns and bring it to a boil.
- Now add an equal amount of vinegar along with some mustard seeds and chopped bay leaves.
- Add the red pepper flakes, rosemary, salt and sugar. Take the pot off heat.
- Now add the golden raisins and allow the mixture to cool down completely.
Notes
- If you can't find golden raisins, you can use sultanas instead.
- You can also use other herbs like thyme and oregano instead of rosemary to lend a slightly different aroma to the pickled raisins.
- To add an extra layer of flavor, swap the sea salt in the recipe for an infused salt of your choice. I like to use my homemade herb salt, garlic parsley salt or jalapeno infused salt for this recipe.
