Strawberry Vinegar
Vinegar is the base of so many salad dressings …why waste those beautiful strawberry tops when we can use them to create a delicious base ingredient to pair with all your summer salads!
Recipe & Directions
- Strawberry Tops (from about a quart)
- White Vinegar (to fill a pint jar)
- Cut the tops off your strawberries (we use approximately a quart of berries). Rinse off any dirt & gunk
- Place Greens & any remaining red berries into a jar / bottle. Fill bottle most of the rest of way with your vinegar. Size really doesn’t matter & measurements are flexible!
- Set in a dark place (or even your kitchen counter) for a couple of days or up to a week.
- Strain out your berries & you are left with a pink jar of sweet vinegar!
When infusing the vinegar with the strawberry, it really takes some of the bite away and you are left with a slightly sweet vinegar perfect as a salad dressing or anything else your heart desires.
This same method, although not tested, would probably work really well to infuse your own vodka as well!

Watermelon Mint Ice Pops
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Ice Pops! I don’t really think that there is a kind of Ice Pop that I’ve met that I don’t like. Making Ice Pops at home is SO easy. Any flavor that you can dream up – you can make up. You can use Ice Pop Molds, get plastic sleeves for ice pops (also great for spiked-adult only Ice Pops!!), get mini-pop molds for the littlest members of your family, use silicone sleeves, or even just use paper cups or an ice cube tray with a popsicle stick!
The options when you make Ice Pops are truly endless. Continue reading Watermelon Mint Ice Pops
