BLUEBERRY BASIL VINEGAR



Blueberry Basil Vinegar image

I can't take credit for this recipe. It comes from my local extension office at UAF (University of Fairbanks, Alaska) I love, love, love berry vinegars and this one is very good. Use it for everything from marinades to barbecue sauce, to salad vinegrette. Yeah, it takes a little time to marry the flavors but it is worth it. ...

Yummy vinaigrette dressing with a nice richness thanks to some balsamic vinegar and fresh blueberries! I prefer a little less oil for a thicker dressing and my husband prefers a little more oil for a thinner dressing.
