Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 2 sprigs Fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or basil)
• 2 cups White wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Gently bruise the herbs using the back of a spoon to release their essential oils.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, white wine vinegar, honey, and salt.

Step 4

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Once the blueberries start to burst, remove the saucepan from heat. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the bruised herbs to a clean glass jar or bottle.

Step 6

Carefully pour the warm blueberry vinegar mixture over the herbs in the jar. Use a funnel if needed to avoid spills.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar or bottle with a lid.

Step 8

Let the vinegar infuse for 5-7 days in a cool, dark place, swirling the jar gently once a day.

Step 9

After infusing, strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove solids. Discard the solids.

Step 10

Transfer the strained vinegar into a sterilized bottle or jar for storage. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
