Hi Tammy,

The vinegar preserves the fruit so they last a really long time! My sister found a jar she had forgotten about that was a couple of years old. We usually use it within a year though and make a fresh batch the following summer. No canning necessary. If you wanted to you could strain the fruit but we don’t usually.

Best Wishes,

Crystal

Or do u need to strain for storage? Do they need canned?

Hi Karen,

Great question. You want to have clean jars, but I don’t worry about sterilizing them. If anything stuck around after a thorough cleaning the vinegar would kill it. 🙂

Thank you for visiting!

Best Wishes,

Crystal

I pain-stakenly pull the chive flowers apart and serve them on salad. Actually to be honest, sometimes I am not so picky about about peeling them apart and some people might get a few flowers at a time in their salad ? I love the chive flowers. I hate to waste them. They are so pretty and the vinegrette it makes is beautiful. The rhubarb is pretty too. So functional for eating and looking. It makes great gifts. ? I would attach pictures but I can not seem to figure out how. If I emailed them to you maybe???

Ooooh! Tamara those sound SO GOOD!!! Now I’m going to have to make chive vinegar and rhubarb vinegar. I always look at those pretty purple chive flowers and think I should do something with them. Do you use them for other things too?

Best Wishes,

Crystal

The chive flower is great as a drizzle over roasting ham and then keep re-applying through basting. Rhubarb vinegrette is fabulous in salad with a little virgin olive oil, dijon and maple syrup mixed! I never thought to try softer berries like raspberries!
