1 2/3 cups white wine vinegar
1 2/3 cups water
2 walnut-sized pieces unpeeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced on the bias

  • In a large saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, ginger, salt, cloves, and peppercorns. Over low heat, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
