Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Apples, pears, bergamot, cherries, dried apricots and peaches, red and white currants, grapes, gooseberries, watermelon rinds, and unripe melons are pickled as follows: place the fruits in glass jars, keeping each type of fruit separate to prevent them from transferring their flavors and aromas to one another. Pour the liquid over them — for each bottle of water, add 1/2 bottle of strong vinegar, 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fine sugar or sand, and 10 cloves, along with 2 cinnamon sticks. Alternatively, it is better not to add any spices to avoid masking the natural flavor. Bring the mixture to a boil, cool it down, and then pour it over the fruits.
Step 2
Place the currants and barberries in single sprigs or tied in bunches. Peel the watermelon and melon rinds and cut them into rectangular pieces.
Step 3
Store in a cool place, placing wooden or stone discs on top of the fruits.
