I had quite a few fresh raspberries that were going to waste so I found a delicious way to extend their life! A fresh raspberry vinegar. Delicious, easy to make and has so many uses. One of the first things I made was a wonderful chicken salad using the vinegar for the dressing. Perfect for a warm Summer evening. Enjoy!
Simple Raspberry Vinegar(Recipe from The British Larder--an amazing blog!!)
1/2 cup overripe raspberries**
1 1/2 cups distilled or white wine vinegar
Remove any moldy raspberries and lightly wash under cold water and drain.
Lightly mash the raspberries.
Add the vinegar of your choice and let it mature in a jar/container for 5 days.
Pass the vinegar through a fine sieve into sterilized bottles/jars. Store in the refrigerator.
**You can also use blackberries, strawberries or other seasonal berries.

How lovely ro make your own raspberry vinegar & how to use it in that didvine salad,...how lovely that is!
The last homemade vinegar I made was tarragon, but the something weird happened, it went moldy on me. lol I thought vinegar was supposed to prevent that? In any event, your raspberry vinegar looks beautiful..the photos showcasing RED so nicely..and the salad you used it on looks divine! Maybe I'll try your recipe..but I'd hate to see my raspberries grow fuzz like the tarragon did!
Will you please come over and make this for our dinner? It's 7:45 and my hubby is out (watching a UFC fight with our friends) and my kiddos are still up and starving...
What a great recipe!! I love vinegar and now feel that my collection is not complete. I will have to whip up a batch of this once raspberries are in season here in OZ.
the colors.. beyond brilliant! and I don't even like raspberries.
This looks delicious... I made chicken with raspberry sauce a looong time ago and remember loving the combinations!
This looks delicious!!!
