What do you get when you combine vinegar with a few ingredients? Infused vinegars that add flair to salads, soups and sauces. And they make great gifts, too! Just follow these easy steps.
- Select glass canning jars or bottles with lids. Clean and sterilize everything with hot water.
-
Choose your ingredients and add to jars or bottles.Try fresh herbs, chile peppers or raspberries. White wine vinegar works best because it is clear and has a milder flavor, so you can see and better taste your infused ingredients.
-
Heat 3–4 cups of vinegar (depending on how many jars/bottles you have to fill) in a pot to warm, not boiling. Pour warm vinegar over infusion ingredients, and screw on lids.
-
Store jars/bottles in a cool, dark place for three to four weeks.
-
Strain vinegar through a cheesecloth into another container; repeat as needed until all sediment is removed.
-
Compost the infusion ingredients, or place a small amount in the jar for presentation. It’s best to use infused vinegar within five months.
