Chive Blossom Vinegar
Saying something is ‘easy’ to do is something I’m not keen on saying. We all have various levels of experience, and what is ‘easy’ to some, is difficult to others (growing carrots is one of mine – can’t grow them to save my life!). However, this is really simple to make and all you do is chuck stuff in a jar with lid.
I’m yet to try it in dishes & salad dressings, but so far it’s looking beautifully pink and smells lovely and onion-y 🩷
This is my first time making it and recipe credit goes to Charley, for telling me how simple it is 🩷
Collect your chive flowers
Such beautiful colours
Add vinegar & watch the magic happen
After a while this is what it'll look like
Double strain it to make sure you only have vinegar left over
Squeeze out any moisture left in the blossom
Ingredients
Chive blossom Flowers
White wine vinegar
enough to cover the blossom
Jar/bottle with a lid
Directions
1. Collect your chive blossom flowers and place them into a jar
2. Fill the jar with the vinegar and make sure it covers the chive flowers
3. Close the jar and store in a dark cupboard for a week minimum
Once you are happy with the colour of your chive vinegar, you strain it through a fine mesh sieve (there may be some bugs in).
Store in the fridge and use in salads like you would normally. It has a lovely mild chive/oniony flavour and a beautifully pink colouring.
Enjoy! 🩷
