Pickled Grapes

This recipe is NOT mine:)
I found it through browsing www.smittenkitchen.com and it is adapted from 'A Homemade Life', where it was also adapted from Susan Kaplan recipe. 
The pickles came out really good! Even though I am not that much into pickles, I was intrigued by this recipe! I would serve these grapes with baked brie or a variety of cheeses!

What you need for the pickled grapes:

4 cups red grapes (or black), seedless if possible
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 cinnamon stick per jar you are using:)
1/4 teaspoon salt
(The recipe also includes black peppercorns, which I excluded)

Good Luck!



Wash the grapes well


And let them dry completely, or rinse them with a clean towel


Cut of the stems


Bring to boil the rest of the ingredients over medium heat



Put your grapes in a clean dry jar 



And pour over the liquid mixture: You can either add the liquid mixture when it is warm or let is cool completely. In the second case the grapes remain more firm.

After they are cool, put the jars in the fridge for at least eight hours.
Serve the grapes cold!
There you go:)
