Homemade Herb Vinegar

Herbed Vinegar

HOMEMADE HERB VINEGAR:

Yea! Getting another homemade garden gift blog entry before Christmas- I just made some vinegar infused with fresh herbs from the garden today and that should give me two weeks to allow the flavors to blend before I give them as gifts.

Use herbed vinegar for salads, veggies and all recipes that list vinegar as an ingredient.

1. Heat a vinegar of choice in a saucepan, but do not boil.

2. Wash and pat dry the fresh herbs.

3. Wash bottles.

4. Use 2-3 Sprigs of herbs per Cup of vinegar.

5. Pour warm vinegar into bottles with herbs.

6. Store in a dark place for 2-3 weeks. This allows the flavors to infuse with the vinegar.

7. Shelf life is up to one year.

* Ideas for single herb bottles or combinations: Basil, Tarragon, Parsley, Dill, Chives, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, Lovage, Orange, Lemon or Lime Peel spirals, Lavender Blossoms, Sage, Garlic, Chilies.
