This vinegar contains many of the same herbs commonly found in herbes de Provence, the dried-herb blend used in southern France for cooking. Add a small amount to stews, soups, or vinaigrettes. Ingredients:
1 cup white wine vinegar |
1/4 cup basil leaves, crushed |
1/4 cup thyme leaves, crushed |
1/4 cup oregano leaves, crushed |
1/4 cup rosemary leaves/needles, crushed |
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds |
2 bay leaves, broken in half |
2 basil sprigs |
2 thyme sprigs |
2 oregano sprigs |
2 rosemary sprigs |
1 bay leaf |
Directions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a widemouthed jar; cover and let stand 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, gently shaking jar occasionally.
2. Strain the vinegar mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a glass measure or medium bowl, and discard solids. Pour into a decorative bottle, and add basil sprigs and remaining ingredients. Seal the bottle with a cork or other airtight lid, and store in a cool, dark place.
