Keep on preserving


As a luxury twist to pickled onions, today I bottled a few jars in balsamic vinegar. A bit more expensive but well worth it, they taste wonderful.
With a frost forcast yesterday, I hot footed it out to the herb bed and picked some nice French Tarragon shoots and after popping them into 1 litre bottles (sterelised), topped them up with white wine vinegar to make tarragon vinegar. Dont use Russian Tarragon as it is not at all like using the French version.
As a footnote, the 1 litre bottles were originally from a French supermarket and filled with lemonade costing about 90p each. Just the bottle would cost several times that in the UK.

They sell lemonade in those bottles in Tesco, I think its £1.99 if anyone wanted similar.
