Follow the base recipe to make all kinds of vinegar infusion. The Strawberry Balsamic Infused Vinegar is delicious!
Ingredients
Infused Vinegar Base Recipe
- 1 cup lightly packed fresh herbs
- 1 ½ cups vinegar (wine, apple cider, or rice wine vinegar — avoid plain white vinegar, it’s too harsh)
Strawberry Infused Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 ½ cups balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 6 basil leaves, lightly bruised
- ¼ tsp black peppercorns
Directions
Infused Vinegar Base Recipe
Lightly bruise (or tear) washed and dried herbs to release their oils, then submerge them in the vinegar in a sterilized jar or bottle. Cover with waxed paper or parchment and screw on the cap. Label the jars and let steep in a cool, dark spot for 1–2 weeks. Strain, rebottle, and refrigerate. All winter, you can drizzle over the flavour of summer in liquid form.
Strawberry Infused Balsamic Vinegar
Follow the basic infusion method above. Try it drizzled over fresh strawberries and ice cream and top with a few grinds of black pepper, or turn it into a luscious nutty Strawberry Balsamic Salad Dressing.
