Ingredients

- 150gr granulated sugar
- 1 allspice berry
- 120ml cider vinegar

- In a saucepan, combine the reserved liquid with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 15 minutes, until slightly reduced.

Transfer to a glass jar and keep sealed in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
