HI Nicola,

Absolutely, Red wine vinegar will work with well with raspberries, red currants, blackberries, mulberries and strawberries.

Happy Cooking

Sounds great – when you let it mature for five days, where do you put it? In the fridge or just covered, out on the worktop in the kitchen? Does it make the house smell?

HI Terri,

I leave mine in the fridge. You must cover the container. It does not smell at all.

Happy Cooking

This is a really good idea, and will try this. I also hate wasting things – and love recycling leftovers too!

I grow some fruit and veg in my garden and had about 1/2lb. of redcurrants which I wasn’t sure what to do with. I ended up making a jelly (recipe on my blog) which was actually very nice and had it with a goats cream cheese (which I made from a goat’s yog. that had been in the fridge for a while!) – they went very well together – nice surprise! I will use the rest of the redcurrants to make some vinegar – thank you.
kind regards,
Shirley.

I make blackberry vinegar which is a sugar cooked syrup, never seem to keep enough raspberries to do raspberry vinegar but inspires me to try! Also great little bottles, where did they come from,?

Hi Grethic,

A friend gave those bottles to me, I’m working on a store to sell these items from my site.
Shall keep you posted.

Hi, love the site.

Made raspberry and redcurrant vinegar last year, added a little sugar. To help dissolve the sugar I boiled the fruit vinegar, got a nice suprise when it cooled down and had turned into jelly.

Kerry the jelly sounds fantastic! I shall give that a go myself.

Thanks for the tip!
