Ingredients

• 2 cups Black currants
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Whole mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Whole coriander seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
• 2 sprigs Fresh dill
• 2 units Garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the black currants thoroughly under cold water and set aside to drain.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Stir until the salt is dissolved and then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, add the mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns to the vinegar mixture. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 4

In a clean glass jar or multiple smaller jars, place the fresh dill sprigs and smashed garlic cloves at the bottom.

Step 5

Fill the jar(s) with the rinsed black currants, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.

Step 6

Carefully pour the hot vinegar and spice mixture over the black currants, ensuring they are completely covered. Tap the jar gently to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 7

Seal the jar(s) with airtight lids. Allow the pickle to cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Let the pickle sit for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For optimal taste, wait 5-7 days before consuming.

Step 9

Serve the Whole30 Black Currants Pickle as a tangy addition to salads, grilled meats, or as a zesty snack.
