BLUEBERRY POMEGRANATE INFUSED RED WINE VINEGAR
Coordinates with Recipe#381946, Recipe#365773, Recipe#379251, Recipe#383219, and Recipe#379221 and I was unable to buy this vinegar from our small town grocery store so I developed my own with the help of Chef#220195. Allow yourself 3 days before using. Also is good over fresh or grilled stone fruit slices. Might be good in a Korean blueberry shrub cocktail that has Korean soju or Japanese shochu, and a bit of club soda.

Steps:
- Put vinegar and sugar into medium sized sauce pan, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- While vinegar mixture is simmering, wash blueberries, and dry off with paper toweling; put berries between 2 layers of wax paper; gently crush berries until they pop-to get more of the flavor into the vinegar.
- Use the wax paper to funnel the berries into the quart jar.
- Remove vinegar mixture from heat, add pomegranate juice to vinegar, put funnel into quart jar, and pour hot vinegar mixture over blueberries.
- Allow to cool down for 30 minutes.
- Cover tightly with lid and let stand at room temperature for 3 days.
- Shake jar occasionally.
- Place several layers of cheesecloth in a strainer set inside a glass bowl; dump mixture through to strain out the blueberries; discard the blueberries. You might need to repeat this step.
- While doing the above step, clean a pint jar and lid to put the vinegar into.
- Using a funnel pour the liquid into the jar, label, cover, and store in refrigerator up to 1 month. (Guessing on storage, but will err on side of caution until someone with the expertise tells me differently).

BLUEBERRY INFUSED VINEGAR
This is my first attempt at making infused vinegar. The inspiration came from a very sweet JAP Member - Sherry, who was kind enough to share with me the ingredients listed on her infused vinegars.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium sauce pan bring all ingredients to a low simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat allow to cool. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours to steep.
- 2. Strain fruit from vinegar. Pour into 12 ounce bottle. I chose just to keep this in the refrigerator since I made such a small amount.
Tips:
- Choose ripe blueberries: Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor. Avoid blueberries that are bruised or moldy.
- Wash the blueberries thoroughly: Rinse the blueberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will make it easy to puree the blueberries. You can also use a fork or potato masher, but it will take more time and effort.
- Strain the blueberry puree: Pour the blueberry puree through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds or skins. This will give you a smooth, consistent vinegar.
- Use a clean glass jar: Make sure the glass jar you use to store the vinegar is clean and sterilized. This will help to prevent the vinegar from spoiling.
- Store the vinegar in a cool, dark place: The vinegar should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the vinegar.
