Blueberry Pomegranate Infused Red Wine Vinegar image

Coordinates with Recipe#381946, Recipe#365773, Recipe#379251, Recipe#383219, and Recipe#379221 and I was unable to buy this vinegar from our small town grocery store so I developed my own with the help of Chef#220195. Allow yourself 3 days before using. Also is good over fresh or grilled stone fruit slices. Might be good in a Korean blueberry shrub cocktail that has Korean soju or Japanese shochu, and a bit of club soda.

Ingredients

2 cups red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup pomegranate juice

Steps:

Put vinegar and sugar into medium sized sauce pan, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While vinegar mixture is simmering, wash blueberries, and dry off with paper toweling; put berries between 2 layers of wax paper; gently crush berries until they pop-to get more of the flavor into the vinegar.
Use the wax paper to funnel the berries into the quart jar.
Remove vinegar mixture from heat, add pomegranate juice to vinegar, put funnel into quart jar, and pour hot vinegar mixture over blueberries.
Allow to cool down for 30 minutes.
Cover tightly with lid and let stand at room temperature for 3 days.
Shake jar occasionally.
Place several layers of cheesecloth in a strainer set inside a glass bowl; dump mixture through to strain out the blueberries; discard the blueberries. You might need to repeat this step.
While doing the above step, clean a pint jar and lid to put the vinegar into.
Using a funnel pour the liquid into the jar, label, cover, and store in refrigerator up to 1 month. (Guessing on storage, but will err on side of caution until someone with the expertise tells me differently).

Tips:

When choosing pomegranates, opt for those that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Avoid fruits with blemishes or soft spots.
To easily extract the pomegranate seeds, cut the fruit in half and hold it over a bowl of water. Use your fingers to loosen the seeds from the membrane. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl, while the membrane will float to the top.
Pomegranate vinegar can be used in various recipes, including dressings, marinades, sauces, and cocktails. It can also be enjoyed as a refreshing drink when diluted with water or sparkling water.
Store pomegranate vinegar in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and use it within a few months.
