Notes: Yields 2 1/2 cups. This vinegar makes a delicious vinaigrette or
sauce after deglazing a vegetable or poultry roasting pan. When working
with herbs, dry them partially to prevent bacteria from growing in the
vinegar or oil. Simply place them in a warm oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
**PREP TIME: 10 minutes STEEPING TIME: 1 week
BOIL FIRST: I haven't tried this method. Usually blanch the herb to purify.
Then heat vinegar to a boil. Pour boiling vinegar on the herb - and pour
into a clean bottle that will keep herb completely submerged. store in
refrigerator for about 4 days - swirling the bottle every now and then.
Strain, discard the herb and use the vinegar. -- pat
