• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, sliced
• 2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon clove
• 1 teaspoon salt

3. 3. Place a fork in the jar to prevent it from shattering.
4. 4. Mix the vinegar and the water; bring to a boil.

6. 6. Remove the fork, cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours before serving. Lasts for weeks when refrigerated.
