Make your own chive blossom vinegar. See how easy it is to infuse vinegar with a subtle onion essence and a purple blush of color.<\/p>\n

\"Make<\/p>\n

The chive plants are in full bloom right now. In addition to the two clumps growing in the garden, I have at least six different clusters around the property. The majority of these extra plants are self-sowed and pop up in unexpected places at the edges of the yard.<\/p>\n

Most often the only way I know they are there is when I see as splash of color when their purple orb flowers bloom this time of year. The pollinators love the blossoms and I often leave the flowers to mature, go to seed, and surprise me again next season.<\/p>\n

Chive blossoms are edible and have a mild onion flavor that compliments any dish that you would use onions in. I often snip apart the florets and add to scrambled eggs or sprinkle them in a green salad.<\/p>\n

They add a nice subtle onion essence and a purple pop of color. Another way I enjoy chive blossoms is infusing them into chive blossom vinegar.<\/p>\n

How to Make Chive Blossom Vinegar<\/h2>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Harvest healthy chive blossoms by snipping off the blossoms.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Give the blossoms a quick rinse to flush out dust and insects. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel to dry.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> In a small saucepan, warm vinegar over medium low heat to a simmer (not boiling). Turn off heat.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Pack the chive blossoms loosely into a clean pint jar.<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Pour the warm vinegar over the chive blossoms leaving about a 1-inch space at the top of the jar. Cover the jar and store in a dark, cool location for 3-4 days to allow the chive blossoms to infuse flavor and color into the vinegar.<\/p>\n

Step 6: <\/strong>Once the vinegar has infused and turned a lovely shade of purple, strain out the blossoms and store vinegar in a clean glass jar or bottle.<\/p>\n
