Most people don't think about grapes when creating a canned pickle recipe. The pickling liquid for these grapes includes red wine, vinegar and common pickling spices like coriander, mustard seeds and hot pepper; it also contains warm spices like cinnamon and star anise along with brown sugar. These flavor-packed grapes are unique and delicious on a fab antipasto, pickle or cheese tray. —Cheryl Perry, Hertford, North Carolina

Ingredients

5 cups seedless red grapes
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches), halved
4 whole star anise
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups white wine vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup dry red wine
1-1/2 teaspoons canning salt

Directions

Pack grapes into 4 hot 1-pint jars to within 1-1/2 in. of the tops. Divide jalapenos, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, coriander seeds and mustard seed among jars.

In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, vinegar, water, wine and canning salt. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 cups, 15-18 minutes.
Carefully ladle hot liquid over grape mixture in each jar, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot liquid. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.
Place jars into canner, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

Canning Altitude

The processing time listed is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. For altitudes up to 3,000 feet, add 5 minutes; 6,000 feet, add 10 minutes; 8,000 feet, add 15 minutes; 10,000 feet, add 20 minutes.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
