In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, water, and sugar. Add the cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until the cranberries start to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, taking care to avoid being burned by popping cranberries. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries release their juice, about 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard the pulp.
