Chive blossom vinegar is as pretty as it is tasty!  If you have chives in your garden, you can make this condiment to use for salads or summer recipes.  It would make a lovely gift too!  Other herbs will work well, so don’t fret if you don’t have the blossoms on hand.  I’ll share some other options in the post…the basic tutorial is the same.  What I love about this particular infused vinegar is the gorgeous pale color and mild onion flavor!  So lovely for using in light salad dressings and it will look pretty on the table too!  Lets add flavor from the garden…
