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.
