Blood Orange Vinegar
Description
The Blood Orange Vinegar recipe involves carefully removing the peel from blood oranges with minimal pulp removal to retain essential oils and flavor. The quartered oranges, with seeds removed, are pureed in a food processor and then pressed through a mesh sieve to extract juice and desirable pulp fragments. This juice, which has a thick texture and vivid color, is mixed with quality white wine vinegar to balance and enhance the citrus character. The final product should be refrigerated in a sealed container and shaken before each use to distribute the pulp and flavors evenly. Because of the fresh nature of the ingredients, the vinegar is best used within one month.
Ingredients
- 2 blood orange large
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar good quality
Instructions
- Carefully cut the peel from the oranges, taking care not to cut away too much of the pulp. Cut the oranges in quarters, pull out any seeds, and put it all in the bowl of a small 4 cup food processor.
- Whiz the oranges until they are completely pureed.
- Press the orange puree through a mesh sieve, using the back of a large spoon to squeeze as much of the juice through as possible. Some pulp will also get through, and that's what you want. Be sure to skim off the pulp that sticks to the underside of the sieve, that's good stuff!
- You will have approximately 1/2 cup or so of thick blood orange juice. Add about 1/3 cup of vinegar and stir well. Taste and add more vinegar if you like.
- Pour the vinegar into a jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid and keep in the refrigerator. Give it a shake before using, and use within the month.
Notes
- You can combine different citrus varieties like blood orange and Cara Cara orange, as variations both work well in this vinegar.
- Use a good-quality white wine vinegar to ensure a balanced flavor in the finished vinegar.
- Store the vinegar in the refrigerator and shake before each use to mix the settled pulp.
