Making Chive Vinegar

 
   Chive vinegar experiment. I will post pictures every few days so you can see the progress. It is supposed to turn a rose color and be good in potato salad and other salad dressings. There are several recipes online using widely varying instructions using many different vinegars. So I guess 'it just doesn't matter'. Virtually all of them were satisfied with the resulting rose colored and oniony flavored vinegar.   

  This one is 2 cups white vinegar, heated to boiling added to 30 chive flowers. This one is going outside to a sunny location for 1-2 weeks, after which I will strain into a bottle. I also added about 1/3 cup snipped chives to the vinegar while heating and let it steep for a few minutes before straining and adding to the chive flowers.
