    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the fresh water chestnuts, then peel and slice them thinly.

    2

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

    3

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

    4

    Layer the water chestnut slices in a clean, sealable jar, then add the garlic and crushed peppercorns.

    5

    Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the water chestnuts, then gently press down with a spoon to ensure they are 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 flavours to meld.

    7

    Use the sweet and sour water chestnuts as a topping for salads, pasta dishes, or as a side dish to meat. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
