• Combine vinegar, water and garlic in a large sauce pot. Bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Discard garlic.
• Pack hot peppers into hot jars; leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Ladle hot liquid over peppers, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim clean and seal with two piece canning lids.

• I prefer to pack mine in half pint and half cup jars, because we tend to go through a smaller amount of peppers at one time.

Steps:

• Prepare a boiling water bath and three pint jars. Place lids in a small saucepan of water and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Wash cranberries and pick over for any stems or bad berries.

• Place allspice berries, whole cloves, black peppercorns and juniper berries in a spice bag or a tea ball. Add them to the brine.
• When brine is boiling vigorously, add the cranberries. Stir to combine and cook for 3-7 minutes, until the cranberries begin to pop and the brine has returned to a rolling boil.
• When cooking time has elapsed, remove pot from heat. Pull out the spice bag and cinnamon sticks. Break cinnamon sticks in half and set aside.
• Using a slotted spoon, ladle cranberries into prepared jars. Cover berries with brine, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Place a cinnamon stick segment into each jar.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
• When time is up, remove jars from canner and place them on a folded kitchen towel to cool. When jars are cool enough to handle, remove rings and check seals. Any unsealed jars should be kept in the refrigerator.
• Let jars sit for at least 24 hours before eating to allow the flavors to settle.
