How to Make Blueberry Herb Vinegar

  1. Gently remove basil leaves from their stalks and tear them into small pieces.
  2. In a non-metallic bowl, gently crush 1 cup of the blueberries with the back of a wooden spoon to release their juices.
  3. Add 1 cup of the vinegar to the crushed blueberries and stir to combine.
  4. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of vinegar, the torn basil leaves, and the chopped chives.
  5. Pour the mixture into a large, sterilized jar (at least 1-quart capacity).
  6. Seal the jar tightly and shake well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  7. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 4 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to encourage infusion.
  8. After 4 weeks, line a funnel with a double layer of fresh cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve.
  9. Carefully strain the infused vinegar into sterilized bottles, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  10. Add a few fresh blueberries and a chive flower to each bottle for a beautiful garnish (optional).
  11. Seal the bottles tightly and label them with the date.
  12. Your delicious Blueberry Herb Vinegar is now ready to use! Enjoy!
