JOAN SCOBEY'S CARNATION VINEGAR

6 cloves

1 cup carnation petals

4 cups white wine vinegar

 

 

"Carnations petals are edible and add a clover like flavor to foods but be careful not to eat the greenery,some carnation leaves are poisonous."

 

 

 

"Pull petals off the flower stems; snip off white heels and add them to your compost. Wash and dry well.

Heat vinegar until it is lukewarm.

Crush flower petals and cloves in a jar with a wooden spoon.

Cover mixture with the warm vinegar and let it steep about 3 weeks. (preferably in a sunny windowsill)

Strain the vinegar into decorative bottles and cap or cork tightly. I use it on fruit salad."- Joan
