chive blossom vinegar

One of my favorite garden treats! This zesty vinegar adds not only a yummy mild onion bite to everything from your salads to stir fries, it bottles up to one of the prettiest hues of pink you’ve ever seen. Personally, I love making snap pea refrigerator pickles with them…so good! It’s super easy to make, and easily stores for a year, so it also makes lovely gifts. 

Ingredients: 

Handful of fresh chive blossoms, wash and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture

White vinegar

Fill a sterilized mason jar 2/3rds of the way with clean blossoms.

Pour white vinegar over the herbs to the top of the jar.

Using a wooden spoon, gently crush the blossoms.

Put on lid and place in cool, dark spot for at least two weeks…giving jar a good shake each day.

Strain with cheesecloth into sterile bottle & enjoy!

Best if used within six months to a year.
