This recipe balances the sweetness of honey and the acidity of vinegar for an exciting taste experience. It's excellent with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and refreshing drinks. Try it as a light summer salad dressing or as a special seasoning for a barbecue dinner!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly rinse the fresh thyme sprigs under cold water, then drain well to remove any excess water.

    2

    In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the honey and salt are completely dissolved.

    3

    Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Lightly crush the whole black peppercorns with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.

    4

    Place the thyme sprigs in a clean, sealable jar, then add the garlic and crushed peppercorns.

    5

    Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the thyme, gently pressing down with a spoon to ensure the thyme is fully submerged.

    6

    Let the jar cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Enjoy the sweet and sour thyme as a condiment for meats, in salads, or added to refreshing drinks. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
