The Blueberry Vinegar will stay fresh for six months and can be put into bottles for a homemade gift. When heating vinegar or acidic foods it's important to use a non-reactive saucepan such as stainless steel, non-stick, or enamel. Aluminum or cast-iron pans react with acid and can cause a metallic taste.
