Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, bring vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns and bay leaf to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until serving (keeps about 2 weeks).

Drain before serving.
