Herb-Infused Vinegar
Fresh herbs steeped in white wine or apple cider vinegar for two weeks. The result goes into salad dressings, marinades, and braises all winter long — an entire herb harvest captured in a bottle.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- fresh herbs (tarragon, rosemary, thyme, basil, or any combination)
- garlic (optional)
🛒 From the Store
- white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar (2 cups)
- glass jar or bottle with tight lid
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: fresh herbs (tarragon, rosemary, thyme, basil, or any combination), garlic (optional), white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar (2 cups), glass jar or bottle with tight lid.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: fresh herbs (tarragon, rosemary, thyme, basil, or any combination), garlic (optional).
- Use fresh dry herbs — rinse them and let them fully air dry before adding to vinegar. Any water in the jar invites mold. The vinegar does the preservation work; your job is to keep moisture out.
- Cook for approximately 15 min + 2 weeks. Adjust to taste and serve 32 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
