How to Make Onion Or Shallot Vinegar

Gently wash and thinly slice 1 cup of shallots or 1 cup of small onions.
In a clean glass jar, combine the sliced shallots/onions with 2 cups of your favorite vinegar (white wine, apple cider, or red wine vinegar work well).
Securely seal the jar with a lid.
Steep in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, gently shaking the jar once a week.
After steeping, strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, decorative bottle. Discard the solids.
For an extra touch, add a few small pearl onions to the bottle for a beautiful presentation. (Optional)
Use sparingly – a few drops will add a significant amount of flavor to your dishes.
