Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Tomatillos
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 12 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Rinse the tomatillos thoroughly under cold water to remove their sticky residue, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Chop each tomatillo into quarters.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice each one in half.
Layer the chopped tomatillos, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves in a large sterilized glass jar (at least 1-quart capacity).
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring gently until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the vinegar mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the layered tomatillos, cherry tomatoes, and basil in the jar, making sure all ingredients are fully submerged.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
Allow the vinegar to infuse for at least 1 week before using to allow the flavors to meld properly. Shake the jar gently every couple of days to redistribute the ingredients.
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle for storage. Discard the solids.
Store your Tomatillos, Cherry Tomatoes, and Basil Vinegar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Shake well before use and enjoy it in your favorite recipes!
