Very Fine Raspberry Vinegar
Ingredients
Directions
Fill glass jars or large wide-necked bottles with the raspberries.
Cover the raspberries with pale white wine vinegar.
Let the mixture infuse for 7 to 10 days.
After infusing, drain the vinegar from the raspberries.
Place the raspberries in a sieve over a deep dish to collect the juice.
Put fresh raspberries back into the bottles and pour the vinegar over them.
Change the fruit again after 2 to 3 days.
