Herbed Raspberry Vinegar

Adapted from Karen O’Brien
No ratings yet
Infused raspberry vinegar with fresh herbs and berries. Ideal for salad dressings, soups, stews, and deglazing pans.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 14 days

Ingredients
  

  • white wine or champagne vinegar
  • raspberries or blackberries
  • additional flavoring herbs of choice

Instructions
 

  1. Pack washed and dried herbs and berries into a clean, wide-mouthed canning jar. Fill jar as much as possible, leaving a small space at the top.
  2. Pour vinegar over herbs and berries, covering completely. If using a metal lid, place plastic wrap between lid and vinegar to prevent corrosion.
  3. Steep for several weeks. Placing the jar in sunlight will speed the process.
  4. After steeping, strain vinegar using a coffee filter set in a fine mesh strainer. Pour strained vinegar into clean bottles and close with corks or non-metal lids.
  5. To make salad dressing, combine one part vinegar with two parts quality olive oil.
  6. Other uses: splash into soups or stews, deglaze pans, or drizzle over vegetables like spinach and kale. Substitute in recipes calling for vinegar such as fruit salads or coleslaws.

Notes

Flavor ideas:
• Thai basil, sliced ginger, and blackberries — spray on vegetables before roasting.
• Lavender and black raspberries — ideal for fruit salads.
• Mint and red raspberries — great on spinach salads.
