Saw a TikTok a few weeks ago talking about pickled grapes, so I decided to give it a shot. Dissolved sugar in water, once cooled I mixed in apple cider vinegar and pickling spices. Then poured it over a quart of washed red seedless grapes topped with a couple slices of red onion. It went into the fridge for a week, but I got impatient after 4 days and ate almost the entire jar in one sitting.

The tiktoker did a follow up video using white vinegar, salt, and mint. This batch was not very good, despite using less salt than he did they were too salty.

Does this require a specific type of grape, like seedless or red? I've got some local seeded grapes growing and this looks like a fun food experiment to try.

The recipe (I posted it a few minutes ago) called for seedless red grapes. I would guess you could use seeded grapes, and eat them as you normally would a seeded grape.

Recipe:

Pickled Grapes (Sweet)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sugar
Pickling Spice
1 Quart Washed Red Seedless Grapes
1 Sliced Red Onion

Directions: Dissolve sugar in hot water. Cool water totally. While water is cooling wash your grapes and fill a quart jar, place the onion at the top, then pour in the pickling spice. Once the water is fully cooled, mix in the vinegar and pour over the grapes. Put on your lid and place in the refrigerator for about a week.
