- 6
- Black peppercorns

Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, whole cloves, black peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

- Carefully transfer the rhubarb and pickling liquid into a sterilized jar or container. Ensure that the rhubarb is fully submerged in the liquid.
- Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
- The tangy rhubarb pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, making them a perfect make-ahead condiment.

- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar according to your taste preference.
- These pickles pair wonderfully with roasted meats, cheese platters, or as a topping for tacos.
