Chive Flower Vinegar
Last night I started some chive flower vinegar. I’m using white distilled vinegar as I wanted the color to shine through. I picked the flowers, washed them off, dried them (you can use a salad spinner), then added them to a quart of vinegar. Will let it sit for a few weeks and then taste!
A few years ago I made peach vinegar with the skins and pits of Indian Blood peaches. It was beautiful and tasty. In that case, I simmered the vinegar with the skins and pits. For the chive flowers, I just added the vinegar at room temperature.
Already this morning it’s a pale lavender color.
Would love to hear what herb or other flavored vinegars you have made!
Yep, none of my trees are sprayed so totally organic. My chive flower vinegar is done and I’m going to make a salad with a bit of it one day this week! Looking for other vinegar ideas and a neighbor offered to donate some over the hill red wine. Has anyone ever made red wine vinegar?
Your suggestion to use peach skins and pits in vinegar intrigues me! Thank you. If you use organic peaches and vinegar, pesticides will be avoided.
I am going to be looking for and watching for recipes using sweet potatoes. They have more nutrition than white potatoes.
I just added an article to mysite about cooking herbs and included instruction for infused oils using herbs.

I haven’t made any herb vinegars to date but would like to try. I recently picked up a book from the second hand store about making flavored vinegars.
Your chive vinegar looks lovely.
