A distinctive winter preserve made by fermenting unripe grapes in salted brine to retain their sharp tartness. Serve alongside salads and meze when you want to add a tangy note.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the unripe grapes

10 min

Separate the grapes from the clusters one by one and rinse them.

2

Soak in salted water

Submerge the grapes in salted water and leave them overnight in a cool place; this soak softens their bitter edge.

3

Pack the jar

10 min

Drain the grapes and pack them tightly into a sterilized jar.

4

Prepare the brine

6 min

Bring the water, salt, and vinegar to a boil, then let the brine cool until lukewarm.

5

Seal the jar

5 min

Pour the lukewarm brine over the grapes until they are covered, then seal the jar tightly.

6

Leave to ferment

Leave the jar to ferment in a cool, dark place for two weeks. The pickles are ready when the grapes have darkened in color.

Reminder

Use grapes that are completely green and firm; ripe grapes may soften and fall apart in the brine. Separate them from the clusters without breaking the stems. Sterilize the jars; the pickles are ready to eat after two weeks.

Herkes bayıldı diyor ama bende beklediğim tat çıkmadı. Baharat miktarı bana ağır geldi, biraz azaltılabilir. Pişirme yöntemi yerine ızgara denedim, farklı ama daha iyi oldu bence.

Kırmızı biber yerine yeşil biber kullandım, daha hafif oldu. Elimdeki peynirle yaptım, farklı ama güzel bir sonuç çıktı.
