Please Note: We steep Basil in vinegar to give the vinegar a basil flavor - but we don't use the fresh herb when we bottle it - as we don't think it holds up well!!

What you can do with these flavored vinegars?

A simple vinaigrette is the best dressing a salad can have.
Our flavorful vinegars can be used as a salad dressing with nothing else added
The addition of oil is not necessary
If you wish though - just a very light splash of a good olive oil can be used
Try marinating some diced fruit - pear - apple - whatever is your pleasure
with the vinegar of your choice
Just add to your greens when ready to serve
Add grating of fresh pepper
And there you have the perfect salad.
If you wish -
You can add several other things
A tsp of Dijon Mustard
Some fresh herbs of the variety in the vinegar
You won't find salt necessary
Don't forget that grind
of
Fresh ground pepper

Try mixing snippets of fresh herbs with the greens in your salad.

Vinegar can be used to deglaze a pan - a splash of an herbal vinegar to scrape up the good tasting browning bits in the pan - adds a special taste to a gravy.
Reduce a flavored vinegar and use as a sauce or glaze for any meat or poultry
Use as part of any marinade
The exotic blends would do wonders for grilled fish and chicken.
Try a dash or 2 in a cucumber salad with yogurt dressing.

We suggest that you 'play' with vinegars to find new ways of enjoying them. Do let us know if you come up with something you really like.

We try to produce all of our jellies from the production of our own gardens. Our harvests may be limited in some varieties. We will purchase the most common herbs during the winter season when our gardens are dormant.
With the addition this year of a new greenhouse - we hope to be able to grow our unusual herbs all year.
Our jellies are made from herbal infusions - sugar - lemon juice or vinegar - and pectin.
We do not use any preservatives.

How you may use these Herbal Jellies?

These jellies are sweet with the unusual flavor of the herb.
They make excellent spreads.
Try them as a condiment along side any meat or poultry dish - as you would use mint jelly with lamb - or cranberry sauce with poultry.
They make a great glaze for meat or poultry. Spread some on ham to glaze it. Try some on a roast chicken to give it an extra taste and sparkle.
Add a spoonful to your regular gravy recipe for an added 'zing'.

Please let us know if you come up with something you would like to share.
