Vinegar infusions

Simple, delicious, flavoursome – infusing vinegar is a great way to capture seasonal flavour. Here are a few combinations that I’ve used throughout the book, but the same method and ratios can be applied to all sorts of ingredients, so experiment.

Deciding which vinegar to infuse depends on what you would like to use it for – white wine vinegar and red wine vinegar are more savoury than the sweeter white balsamic, which is lovely in desserts. But don’t get too hung up on it: all the vinegars will make a delicious end product. White wine vinegar, for example, is delicious with strawberries.
