Having had a rather large glut of raspberry’s this year I was looking for ways to store that wonderful flavor so that we could keep on enjoying them long after the end of the season.<\/p>\n
I read a lovely recipe in Hugh FW’s Preserving book about Raspberry Vinegar. Needless to say that it is absolutely delicious and I can’t see it lasting as long as I had hoped! The whole family enjoy it as an addition to their meal.<\/p>\n
Here is the recipe from The River Cottage Handbook No2- Preserves:<\/p>\n
Makes 1.5L<\/p>\n
1Kg Raspberries<\/p>\n
600 ml Cider Vinegar<\/p>\n
Granulated Sugar<\/p>\n
Put the raspberry’s in a bowl and crush them lightly with a wooden spoon. Add the vinegar. Cover the bowl and leave for 4-5 days stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n
Pour the fruit vinegar in to a scalded jelly bag or muslin and leave to drain over night. You can squeeze a little if you like.<\/p>\n
Measure the liquid and pour in to a saucepan. For every 600 ml of fruit vinegar, add 450g sugar. Place over a low heat and bring to the boil. Boil for 8-10 mins removing and scum as it rises.<\/p>\n
Remove from the heat and bottle when cool. Use within 12 months.<\/p>\n
Use it on salads-either neat or mixed with olive oil. Also nice trickled over goats cheese , pancakes and even ice-cream. You will also find that a spoonful adds a lovely piquancy to savoury sauces.<\/p>\n
For a revitalising summer drink, mix a couple of tablespoons of raspberry vinegar with soda or tonic water then add ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
