How to Make Raspberry Vinegar

  1. Gently warm 2 cups of white wine vinegar in a medium, nonreactive saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam. Do not boil.
  2. Place 1 pint of fresh raspberries in a fine-mesh sieve set over a sterilized 1/2-gallon jar.
  3. Slowly pour the warm vinegar over the raspberries in the sieve, allowing it to drip into the jar. Then, add the remaining raspberries from the sieve to the jar.
  4. Let the mixture cool to room temperature (20-30 minutes). Seal the jar tightly and gently shake.
  5. Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place (out of direct sunlight and away from heat) for 4 days. Shake gently every day.
  6. After 4 days, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a dampened coffee filter into a large bowl.
  7. Rinse the original jar and pour the strained vinegar back into it.
  8. If using the lemon thyme variation, add 1 sprig of fresh lemon thyme to a bottle or flask before adding the vinegar.
  9. If desired, carefully spear 6-8 whole raspberries onto a wooden skewer and place it in the jar before filling.
  10. Fill the jar with the strained vinegar, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool, dark place for 1 week before use (if using the lemon thyme variation). For the raspberry vinegar without lemon thyme it's ready immediately.
  11. (Cranberry Variation): Follow steps 1-10, substituting 4 cups of coarsely chopped fresh cranberries for the raspberries. Steep for 1 week before using.
  12. Your Raspberry Vinegar is ready to use! It has a shelf life of at least one year.
