Make Blueberry Vinegar

Blueberries are antioxidant packed health powerhouses. Blueberry vinegar is one means of getting them into your diet and this vinegar is an excellent addition to marinades and in salad dressings such as French dressing.

Ingredients

 * 2/3 cup crushed blueberries, fresh or thawed frozen
 * 2 cups white wine vinegar, of quality

Steps

 * 1) Place the blueberries and vinegar in the jar. (If using a glass canning jar, place plastic wrap over the mouth of the jar and then the metal lid and screw on metal top. This prevents any risk of the vinegar contacting with metal.)
 * 2) Shake the jar and put to one side to steep. Continue to shake the jar once a day for 3 days.
 * 3) Strain the vinegar after 3 days.
 * 4) Pour into a suitable bottle for storage. The vinegar can be used in a variety of dishes that require vinegar, such as salad dressings, marinades and in herbal remedies.

Tips

 * If you place the blueberry vinegar into a decorative bottle, it makes a pleasant gift; be sure to include a label describing its contents and your efforts to make it.
