- You can make it with strawberry tops?
- Yes, indeed! Making strawberry vinegar from strawberry tops is a beautiful way to reduce food waste and enjoy a flavorful, homemade condiment. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
- Ingredients:
- Instructions:
- Uses for strawberry vinegar
- Strawberry tops from 1 pint of strawberries
- 2 cups of white wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (optional)
- Prepare the Strawberry Tops: After washing and hulling your strawberries, save the tops - the leafy part and the tiny bit of fruit attached.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the strawberry tops in a clean, sterilized jar. If you want to add more sweetness to balance the tartness, sprinkle some sugar over the tops. Then, pour the vinegar over the strawberry tops until fully covered.
- Steep the Mixture: Secure the lid on the jar and let it sit at room temperature for about a week. Steeping allows the flavors of the strawberry tops to infuse into the vinegar.
- Strain the Vinegar: After a week, strain the infused vinegar into a clean jar or bottle, and press down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the strawberry tops.
- Store Properly: Store your homemade strawberry top vinegar in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator. It should maintain its flavor for about 3-6 months.
