    Method

    • step 1

      Add all of the spices into the bottle of vinegar (they should all fit but if not then feel free to pour away a small amount. The items in the ingredients list are simply my recommendations, you can add whatever you want into your vinegar (just make sure that they are whole, not ground).
    • step 2

      seal the lids back on tightly, store in the cupboard for around 3 months - or until they have infused enough for your tastes. Alternatively, for a much quicker process, place your bottle on the top rack of the dishwasher for one cycle (seems odd but really works, just make sure the lids are on tight!) then leave over night.
    • step 3

      strain off all of the spices and additions, then use your vinegar to make all kinds of pickles and chutneys.

    This is great pickling vinegar, a couple of comments

    1) A couple of the ingredients are duplicated 2) I put mine in a pan and gently warmed it until it started to simmer, I then let it cool and bottled it and left it overnight. No need for the dishwasher trick ;)

    question

    What bottle of vinegar?!?

    Hi, thanks for your question and for spotting this. The above quantity of spices can be added to a large pint-sized bottle of malt vinegar (568ml) to make spiced pickling vinegar. You can also use wine vinegar although this generally comes in smaller bottles so adjust accordingly. We hope this…
