Pickled Rye Berries

This recipe works best with what I refer to as "hard-shell" grains--those with a chewy, closed texture (rye berries, wheat berries, spelt, and kamut). Grains with a more "open" texture (such as farro or barley) take on so much brine that they lose their own nutty flavor.

  • Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in pan; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add rye berries; simmer 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat; cool to room temperature. Let stand at least 1 hour before serving. Store, in brine, in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (flavor will intensify the longer it stands).
