Description

Ruth says, "Commercial fruit vinegars usually employ cooked fruit, resulting in a heavy, jammy, and not-so-nuanced flavor. We made our vinegar with uncooked berries, so it retains that fresh-from-the-patch essence."

Ingredients

  • 1
    lb
    strawberries, trimmed (3 cups)
  • 2
    T
    sugar, if berries are not sweet
  • 2
    c
    white balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Pulse berries with sugar (if using) in a food processor until finely chopped and very juicy.

Transfer to a bowl and add vinegar. Let stand 1 hour.

Strain vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.

Vinegar keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week. You can also freeze Strawberry Vinegar in ice cube trays to have available all year long. (Once cubes freeze, transfer to a ziplock bag.

Notes

Use the Strawberry Vinegar to make the vinaigrette for the Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette recipe also found here.
