Strawberry-Mint Vinegar
This is delicious on fruit salads or on mixed spring salad greens. Use strawberry vinegar as a base for dessert sauces, adding it to whipped cream or mayonnaise for a cream sauce.
3 quarts (plus another 3 quarts later) fresh strawberries, stems removed, mashed
4-5 sprigs of your favorite mint
3 quarts apple cider vinegar (pasteurized, not raw vinegar which contains bacteria that may cause problems in the vinegar)
1/8 cup, or more, brown sugar to taste
Combine the 3 quarts mashed strawberries, mint, and vinegar, cover, and set aside. Gently shake every day or two, for 2 weeks.
Strain out the berries and replace them with 3 additional quarts of mashed strawberries.
Cover and set aside for 2 more weeks, gently shaking daily.
Strain and discard berries. Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Bottle and add a sprig of fresh mint to each bottle.
Keep refrigerated.
