Ingredients for Soused Blueberries
To make these scrumptious soured delights, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions for Making Soused Blueberries
Now, let’s get started on this easy and flavorful recipe:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. This creates a simple syrup base.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, add the red wine vinegar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes. This will help to meld the flavors together.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. In the meantime, rinse the fresh blueberries under cold water.
- Once the syrup has cooled down, add the fresh blueberries into the syrup. Stir gently to coat all the berries.
- Transfer the soured blueberries into a clean jar or container, making sure to pour the syrup over the top. Seal the container and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least a few hours, preferably overnight. This allows the blueberries to soak up all the beautiful flavors of the syrup.
- When ready to serve, enjoy these soured blueberries as a topping for your favorite desserts, pancakes, or even straight out of the jar!
These soured blueberries are not only easy to make but also provide an explosion of flavor that’s perfect for elevating summertime dishes. Enjoy them responsibly, and share them with loved ones for a true taste of summer!
