The grapes should be sorted, washed, allowed to dry, placed in a jar and hot marinade added.

To prepare the marinade for grapes, you will need to place water in an enamel pan, add cloves and cinnamon and boil everything for 10 minutes.

Then, add sugar and bring to a boil again.

Turn off the heat, let the marinade stand for a couple of minutes, pour in the vinegar, stir and pour the grapes into the jars.
