You've heard of pickling onions and cabbage, now try fruit! These pickled blackberries are sweet, tart and fragrant, providing the perfect balance to cream cheese on an open sandwich or try serving with a Ploughman's. If you're after an easy pickle recipe that's a bit different, give it a go – we'd say it's a spoonful of summer all year round! See method

Method

  1. Put the vinegar, salt, caster sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns in a saucepan with 150ml water over a medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
  2. Put the blackberries in a clean, sterilised 700ml jar* and pour over the pickling liquid and spices, pushing down the berries so they’re submerged.
  3. Set aside for 2 days or up to 6 months in a cool, dry place to pickle, before adding to summer salads and sandwiches. Once opened, refrigerate for up to 3 months.

*To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.
