MOO Strawberry Vinegar - March 2020
I once had a really lovely green salad topped with strawberry vinegar and cracked black pepper. I asked my friend about the vinegar and was amazed to find it cost $19.95 for a one litre bottle! So in the interests of saving.....
I bought two cheap punnets for $2.00 each and a 2 litre bottle of white wine vinegar for $2.50. (You can even make your own white wine vinegar, I think).Then I washed the strawberries, no need to hull them, and put them to soak in the vinegar for 18 days. You can do it in 14 days but I wanted a good strong flavour and colour. The vinegar turned red, I strained and used the strawberries in my pickled collection, and I finished the vinegar by adding sugar syrup. This was 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of water boiled till dissolved. Add the syrup to taste. I like mine with only a little. Serve on fresh salads with cracked black pepper or even add to some Asian dressings for something different.
