BLACKBERRY VINEGAR
Make a nice vinegarette by adding oil, honey, and poppy seeds then splash on the salad or over coleslaw for a nice change. There are lots of other uses for flavored vinegars too. Why pay the store cost when it is easy to make? NOTE: Please follow sterile canning procedures for your safety. Do not cut corners or skip steps. Also note the nutrition at the side is including the whole berry not the correct removed berry amounts.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh blackberries: Use plump, dark-colored blackberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will affect the final flavor of the sipping vinegar. Choose a vinegar that you enjoy the taste of, such as apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or balsamic vinegar.
- Add sweetener to taste: Some people like to add a little sweetener to their sipping vinegar, such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup. This is optional, so adjust the amount to your liking.
- Let the vinegar infuse for at least two weeks: The longer you let the vinegar infuse, the more flavorful it will be. However, you can start enjoying it after just a few days if you're impatient.
- Store the vinegar in a cool, dark place: Once the vinegar is infused, store it in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cupboard. It will keep for several months.
