Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 20
Yield: 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup white vinegar
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 1 cup white sugar
  4. 1 cup fresh cranberries
  5. 2 pods cardamom, crushed
  6. 4 whole allspice berries, cracked
  7. ¼ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar has dissolved and cranberries have released their juice, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard pulp.
