    Homemade Berry Infused Vinegar

    Homemade Berry Infused Vinegar is very easy to make and also super fun to cook with. They also make great gifts for anyone who loves to cook, and they're totally customizable to your favorite flavors.

    Raspberry Thyme and Blackberry Laurel Vinegar Recipes

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    Hi all! With flavored vinegar being so popular lately I wanted to try my hand at creating a few custom flavors with some of my favorite berries and herbs.


    With just a few simple ingredients and some attractive storage bottles (I purchased mine at my local grocery store for $2 each), you can whip together your own flavored vinegar for just a fraction of the cost of what you'll find in those pricey kitchen specialty stores or markets.

    Two bottles of Homemade Berry Infused Vinegar on a white plate with fresh berries on the plate.

    Assemble the berries, white and red wine vinegar, thyme sprigs, bay (laurel) leaves, storage bottles, and a medium-size bowl.

    Working in two batches, muddle the berries in the bowl.

     

    Add the herbs to the bottles.

    Pour the vinegar into the muddled fruit and stir well.

    Save this for later.

    We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

    Email forwarding service for saving information.

     

    Pour the vinegar/fruit mixture into the prepared bottle. Place the lid on the bottle and allow the vinegar to sit on the counter for 7 days before use. Strain if desired.

     
     
    Raspberry Thyme and Blackberry Laurel Vinegar Recipes

    I found it unusual and interesting that the two different flavored kinds of vinegar turned out to be almost exactly the same color. I had thought that the blackberries mixed with white wine vinegar would have been a deep blueish hue, but surprise...not so much.

    However, the flavors are completely different and you can totally differentiate between the flavors of the berries, and the herbs... so it's all good!

    If you're giving these as gifts, why not think about printing some cute labels to stick on the bottles along with adding some raffia bows to make a really fun and unique presentation.

    Had I thought ahead I would have painted some adorable bottles to store my flavored vinegar, but I wasn't that organized. Maybe for the next batch. 🙂
