I asked Sheamus the other day about ideas for using our new red wine vinegar. He had some terrifc ideas that are really simple. Here is what he said:
"A nice way to make a flavorful 'sauce,' is to take the roasting liquids from meat or poultry and swirl them in a pan with a few splashes of vinegar and a knob of butter.
Additionally, you can combine our vinegar with a little sugar or honey and use it to macerate fresh berries or cherries.
For a simple salad dressing, you can combine shallots, black pepper, thyme, salt and garlic together in a bowl for thirty minutes, then strain the vinegar. Combine the flavored vinegar with twice the amount of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of honey in a mason jar. Place a lid on the jar and shake it before use."
