Submitted by KittyKitty

"I lovemaking my own vinegar, the variations are endless. And it's simple, all you have to do is pour hot vinegar over the herbs, and let it stand for 2 weeks. Place a sprig of the fresh herb in the bttle, to make it look pretty, especially if giving as gifts. The recipe below is my favorite one."
