Raspberry Vinegar

Raspberry Vinegar

Here is a recipe I wish more people would try. Everyone has their favourite vinegar's for various tasks within the culinary realm. But Raspberry vinegar is one you probably have not tried. Traditionally used on Yorkshire pudding as a desert, I use it for salad vinaigrette to add a fruity note to summer salads, it is also delicious on ice cream too.

Dead easy to make, equal amounts of Raspberries and white wine or cider vinegar and a small amount of sugar to taste. So 500g raspberries to 500ml of vinegar and around a dessert spoon of sugar.

Heat but not boil the vinegar and pour over the raspberries you have place in a kilner jar or similar, allow to cool then fasten the lid, leave for a week or so, shaking every so often, not vigorously, just gentle back and forth and allow to steep. Finally strain and bottle the vinegar, it can be used straight away.

Yep I've tried it @Steve R and can also recommend it.

 

Works with Strawberries, Loganberries, Blackberries as well. The recipe I remember from childhood had more sugar in it and was quite syrupy. Good with pancakes.
If you shake it too much it goes cloudy.

 

I havejust bought a dwarf raspberry that grows in a tub so i try it if i get enough rasberries this year thanks

 

I keep it on the "tart" side as I use it to deglaze pans on occasions. If it goes cloudy sieve through a chinois and or muslin/cheesecloth.
