Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters if large.
In a clean, medium-sized saucepan, combine the white vinegar and granulated sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Do not allow the vinegar to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the vinegar mixture to cool to room temperature.
Place the prepared strawberries in a clean, sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 5-7 days to allow the flavors to infuse. Shake the jar gently once a day.
After the infusion period, strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, sterilized bottle, discarding the strawberries.
Store the finished strawberry vinegar in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Shake well before use.
