Grow Your Own Herbs for Gourmet Vinegar

Want to make gourmet herb vinegar? Organic Gardening magazine says it’s easy with white or cider vinegar and fresh-picked garden herbs.

Thyme, basil, marjoram, tarragon, rosemary, fennel, chervil, dill or mint are good choices.

Put about a cup of fresh herbs, chopped coarsely, and two or three cups of vinegar in a clear jar or bottle. Cap the jar and set on a sunny windowsill for about two weeks to let flavors mellow.

Strain the vinegar into a clean jar and insert a fresh herb stalk for easy identification and an attractive appearance.
