How to Make Spicy Blackberry Vinegar
- Break the 2 cinnamon sticks into smaller pieces.
- Combine 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice berries in the center of a 12-inch square of cheesecloth. Gather the cheesecloth and tie securely with kitchen twine to create a spice bag.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups of apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar) and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- Stir the vinegar and sugar mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the spice bag to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of fresh blackberries to the saucepan. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the blackberries have softened and released their juices.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the blackberry mixture cool completely.
- Remove the spice bag from the saucepan and discard.
- Line a funnel with a double layer of cheesecloth, securing it with a rubber band.
- Carefully strain the flavored vinegar through the cheesecloth-lined funnel into sterilized bottles.
- Add a few fresh blackberries to each bottle for an attractive presentation.
- Seal the bottles tightly and label them with the date.
- Allow the vinegar to age for at least 2 weeks before use for optimal flavor development. Enjoy!
