Mint vinegar

[Guest guest]

If you have access to lots of fresh mint here is a recipe for mint flavored

vinegar. I use it to marinade cucumber slices for salads or sandwiches.

 

Mint Vinegar

2 cups packed spearmint

1 quart cider vinegar

1 cup granulated vinegar

 

Pick the tips off the mint plants (say 2 " from top) and wash lightly. Dry

without bruising.

Combine with sugar in a large heat proof bowl. Bring vinegar just to

boiling point, remove from heat and pour over mint and sugar. With a wooden

spoon press the mint leaves.

When cool cover and marinate in a warm room for 10 days, stirring daily.

Strain and pour into bottles with a fresh mint leaf.
