Raspberry Vinegar

Great for gifts or just to have in the pantry, raspberry vinegar adds something special to vinaigrettes and marinades. We love raspberries and this is a great way to enjoy a hint of them anytime of the year.

The raspberries start to look bleached after a few days and the vinegar turns
a brilliant red.  The smell is divine.
There are several recipes for making raspberry vinegar.  A most basic recipe is one pint of raspberries to 1 cup white wine vinegar.   In a large jar, place your rinsed and dried raspberries in the container and add the white wine vinegar.  Let sit for a minimum of two weeks.  When you are ready to bottle the vinegar, first strain the mixture into a bowl to remove the berries and extra particulate matter.  Use a funnel to fill your bottles and enjoy.

Tonight's salad dressing featured raspberry vinegar, sunflower oil,
salt, and pepper.  That's it!  Toss with butter lettuce, pecans, and sliced
scallions.  Boy #3 loved this one.

I found these glass jars at Cost Plus.  I hear you can get them
on Amazon too.
