Ingredients

2 1/2 cups white vinegar

1/2 cup packed fresh raspberries

3 tablespoons sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 fresh mint sprigs

Thin wooden skewers

Preparation

In a saucepan, bring vinegar, 1/4 cup of raspberries, sugar and salt to a boil. Boil 3 minutes.

Strain mixture over a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Set aside to cool slightly.

Skewer remaining raspberries and place in a clean 2 1/2 cup capacity bottle. Add the mint sprigs.

Place a funnel over the mouth of the bottle and pour in the raspberry vinegar. Cap or cork the bottle and place in a sunny spot for 8 hours.

Store the vinegar in a dark place and let it age for about 6 weeks before serving.
