Raspberry Vinegar Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 lb (900 g) raspberries
- 1 pint (570 ml) white wine vinegar
- Sugar
Method:
- Put the raspberries into a wide-mouthed jar and crush them lightly with the back of a wooden spoon. Cover with cold vinegar.
- Tightly cover and leave for 7 days, shaking occasionally.
- Strain through muslin or through a jelly bag, squeezing out as much juice as possible.
- Measure the juice and transfer to a pan.
- Add 4 ozs(112 g) to 12 ozs (337 g) of sugar per pint of juice extracted, according to taste.
- Heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and then bring to the boil.
- Boil for 10 minutes and pour into hot, sterilized bottles or jars and seal.
Note: You can omit any sugar if you want but this vinegar still needs to be brought to the boil for 10 minutes before final bottling.
Makes about 1½ pints (870 ml) of Raspberry Vinegar.

I HAVE JUST FOUND THIS SITE BY SHEER CHANCE. WE HAVE A SMALL ALLOTMENT AND I FREEZE EVERYTHING. CAN YOU FREEZE MOST OF THESE RECIPES I CAN NOT FIND ON HERE IF YOU CAN.
DO YOU HAVE A SITE FOR WINE OR BEER MAKING I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN USE UP MOST OF YOUR PEELINGS TO MAKE THEM. I HAVE MADE RHUBARB WINE BUT THE CORKS POPPED SO I WILL HAVE TO TRY AGAIN. THIS IS A GREAT SITE GLAD I FOUND IT

Our site with recipes for wine making under Food and Drink http://www.lowcostliving.co.uk/. Most recipes can be frozen but you'll need to use your own judgement by looking at the ingredients.

I can't imagine what this would taste like or with what you would use it with? Any experiences would be welcome as it sounds quite interesting.

Mother makes raspberry vinegar and we use it on pancakes.
Also very good when you have a cough, seems to be much better than the commercial medicine.
I love it, can't wait for the raspberry season.

@Jilly: My Grandma used to make it. It's really nice on yorkshire pudding or pancakes or suet pudding and great for sore throats

Hi, I have used raspberry vinegar as a salad dressing ever since I found it in a small cafe in Dunster. I now would not use anything else! It is delicious with any salad, scallops, salmon etc. It is nice to find a recipe. I have just finished the last bottle I bought in Dunster – but have had a bumper crop of raspberries this year.

Salad dressing, yes….but the simplest and best use is as a summer drink..One teaspoon raspberry vinegar added to a glass…fill with ice and water, seltzer, lemonade of your choice…delicious and refreshing.

I'm going to have a go at making Raspberry vinegar as per recipe, but I bought
RED wine vinegar instead of WHITE, will it still work?

Can I use frozen raspberries when fresh not available or out of season? I have been searching for a supplier for ages, as I cannot make my special red cabbage without it; it seems dufrais no longer produce it so I'm going to have a go myself. Please help re using frozen. Many thanks

It's great for pickling beetroot if you want something a little less tarty than shop bought jars.
