Description

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.

  • 2 Packages (6 ounces) Driscoll's Blueberries
  • 3 Cups white vinegar
  • 3/4 Cup sugar
  • Grated zest of 1 orange
