​Unlike cucumber pickles, pickled cherries have a rich, flavorful brine. My brine is made with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and white vinegar, so it's got a stronger, fruitier flavor. Then, you add brown sugar and kosher salt for a slightly sweet and salty flavor. By adding fragrant spices like allspice and star anise, your pickled cherries end up with a mix of flavors. They're a real flavor experience!
