For this pickled apple recipe, I was trying to come up with a way to use up a bunch of apples we had in our fridge. Eventually, I decided just to pickle them refrigerator-style. This is the result.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 6 medium apples - peeled , cored and sliced
  • 0.5 cups lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place water, cider vinegar, sugar, allspice berries, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, toss apples with lemon juice in a large bowl and pack into 2 sterilized 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings.

  3. 3

    Pour boiling sugar syrup over apples. Top with the lids and screw on the rings tightly. Allow the jars to stand at room temperature until cool.

  4. 4

    Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (the lid does not move up or down at all). Place in the refrigerator and wait for at least 1 week before opening.
