Rose Petal Vinegar Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups white wine vinegar (heat to near boil)
1 cup rose petals
3 or 4 whole cloves
Directions:
- Gently wash and drain rose petals thoroughly. Carefully remove the white/yellow part of the petals (just snip with scissors). Gently crush the petals to bruise a bit.
- In a sterilized jar, place the rose petals and cloves. Pour hot vinegar over top, roughly mash the petals a bit with a wooden spoon and seal immediately.
- Set aside for 10 days (room temperature and dark). Shake occasionally.
- Strain vinegar and discard the cloves and rose petals.
- Using small decorative jars (sterilized), pour the vinegar and seal.
Tip: If possible, use the freshest petals you can by picking the flowers on the day you’ll be making this recipe.
*Do not consume if chemicals or pesticides were used on the rose bush

Hello everyone: I have the cutest story to share on “rose” vinegarettes. One year I had put together a vinegarette that had flowered chives, garlic, thyme stems (dried), and because I thought it was a bit plain, for a lark I added some of my (dried) rose petals (grown in my backyard, NOTHING but sulper used as a bug repellent).
They turned out really pretty, and soooo tasty! I decided at Christmas time that I would give away a couple of bottles, and my brother, who lived in a nearby town, got one. He is a salad lover, and savoured the vinegar for his salads, and also used it on his steaks. When he ran out, he set out to the mall to find this “product”. He didn’t find it there, so he started going to all the Health Food stores, and didn’t find it there. . . .somewhat puzzled, he decided that it must have come from the Amish, south of us in Ohio. And , still couldn’t find the vinegar. Finally, I got the call. . . he really wanted more of the vinegar, and couldn’t locate it anywhere!!! He found some similar, but none had the ROSE PETALS! I explained that I had made the vinegars myself, and had actually thrown in the rose petals for a lark. . .and the tasty tartness they had added to the flavor was completely on accident! We really had a big laugh over it all, and yep! I gladly gave him another bottle.
