Hello everybody, I hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I will show you a way to make a special dish, purple basil vinegar. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Purple basil vinegar is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. It is easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. Purple basil vinegar is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They are fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook purple basil vinegar using 3 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Purple basil vinegar:
- Prepare 1 bunch fresh purple basil(washed)
- Prepare 2 cup White wine vinegar(I used less cause of smaller jars)
- Make ready 1 cup White vinegar( I used less cause of smaller jars)
Steps to make Purple basil vinegar:
- Rinse basil, stems and all, and shake off excess water. Add to vinegar in a quart jar, tupperware, or bowl with a cover (avoid metal). Let sit, shaking once every couple of days or so, for 4 ? 6 weeks to allow the basil flavor to infuse the vinegar.
- Taste, and when the vinegar tastes good to you, strain the basil through a jelly bag or colander lined with cheesecloth. Funnel the vinegar into lovely, sterilized bottles, label and store (you can water-bath can this into jars if you like, but I think it is overkill. It is vinegar, after all…..Yields about 2 and 3/4 cups vinegar.
- It helps to use a vinegar that you like the taste of, initially (I would have used 3 cups of white wine vinegar had I not run out, but the resulting basil vinegar was quite tasty). Red wine vinegar would give an interesting flavor, I think, but would obscure the beautiful color of the purple basil. Homemade vinegar, infused with homegrown basil, would make an especially wonderful gift.
- This works fine with frozen basil as well (although it might get a bit mushy and need careful straining at the end), in case, in the height of August, you stuffed an entire sack of basil into the freezer because you couldn’t muster the engery forone more batch of pesto. Not that I would ever do such a thing.Green basil, of course, works just as well, as do many other herbs. It’s a great way to finish out the herb garden and have some interesting vinegars to cook with over the coming year.
- STOREAt cool room temperature, preferably protected from light, indefinitely.
