I've made the Jam, I've frozen probably more than we'll eat, now is the time to make our Vinegar.
There is nothing better on a simple summer salad than freshly made Raspberry (or Tayberry) Vinegar, and good quality Olive Oil. It is sweet, fruity, and refreshing.
To about 500 gms of Raspberries I add about a pint of colourless vinegar, and half a cup of sugar; all quantities are to taste. Two days later it is strained through muslin and boiled for a short while to kill off any yeasts, and remove impurities. It is then bottled and is ready for use.
Your summer salads will never be the same again.
Oh my goodness this sounds so lovely It sounds like it would also look so pretty in a jar.
ReplyDeleteI use the Traders Joe's Orange Vinegar for my summer salads, it tastes very nice, no Tayberry here.
cheers, parsnip
I should think Orange Vinegar would be quite similar, with a sweet fruity taste.
DeleteSue gave me some local (Aus) raspberry vinegar in my Christmas present. As you say, delicious on a salad with a Good EVO. It is also delicious on oysters.
ReplyDeleteI like fruit in my salads (Figs, Melon, Oranges, etc), and the Raspberry Vinegar brings it all together. What's an EVO?
DeleteExtra Virgin Olive Oil
DeleteI also use a lot of fruit in salads - whatever is available. Lots of avocado, and as you say, oranges and melon. Not weather for salads now. Turned cold.
DeleteSilly me; I should have known!
DeleteSo simple to prepare and safe it in the jar. It would look colorful:)
ReplyDeleteIt takes just a few minutes to make, and worth every second.
DeleteSounds wonderful. No raspberries, tayberries or similar here. The closest we get is balsamic with some fruit taste, ready made of course.
ReplyDeleteHope it's salad weather over there
This is really quite sweet (depending of course on how much sugar one adds). It is surprisingly good on simple salads.
DeleteAbout 30 C. lovely weather which should last another week or so.
DeleteThis is new to me; never heard of raspberry vinigar. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x to
I don't think many people here would know much about it either.
Deletelovely..good to use in the winter as a hot drink as well (diluted of course)
ReplyDeleteI've made elderberry and/or blackberry vinegar before..the elderberry,hot, if you get a cold, is very soothing..especially with a little ginger root grated in..
I think Raspberry vinegar is good for sore throats, coughs, etc. It's certainly good on salads.
DeleteI was reading about raspberry vinegar the other day and the health benefits to be gained from it. I can't remember what they were though.
ReplyDeleteI laugh when I read of the health benefits of different things. Usually they all have exactly the same qualities. Helps prevent cancer, good for your heart, helps reduce the effects of diabetes, etc, etc. Probably mostly nonsense.
DeleteI am going to make this with the first of my raspberries. Sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just had some of mine on a salad for lunch; lovely.
DeleteI think I will give this a go. I like raspberry vinegar but hadn't thought to make it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so simple. Much better than buying it.
DeleteIt sounds just wonderful and just the thing for a fresh summer salad.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a revelation. Worth trying.
DeleteSounds more exciting than boring olive oil.
ReplyDeleteYou can add a splash of olive oil to the finished salad. Good for the heart.
DeleteAnd try to make REAL vinegar and not a juice which you call vinegar.
