Equipment

  • Mason jar

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) vinegar white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar works best in our opinion, but any vinegar will do.
  • 1 cup chive blossoms

Instructions

  • Wash your chive blossoms and place them into your mason jar.
  • Press down on them a little bit with a spoon to crush them slightly.
  • Pour in the vinegar and cover your jar tightly.
  • Store in a dark place for 2 - 3 weeks.
  • When you are ready to use your vinegar, you can either leave it as it is or drain it to remove the blossoms. Your vinegar will have taken on the hue of the lilac blossoms and looks very pretty in a clear container.

Notes

For best results use blossoms as soon as they have opened, and before they go to seed.
