Sous Vide Cherry Vanilla Infused Balsamic Vinegar Recipe

Making infused vinegar at home is quick, easy, and much less expensive than buying them. You don't even need a sous vide machine, you can just use mason jars in a pot on the stove because the temperature fluctuations don't matter that much. If you have a whipping siphon, you can also use it to easily infuse the vinegar.

The sweet and tart cherry flavor goes wonderfully with the taste of earthy vanilla. They are both strong flavors and can hold up well to balsamic vinegar, increasing the already deep flavors found there. If you want a vinegar where the cherry and vanilla flavors shine more brightly try using a white balsamic or white wine vinegar instead.

Cherries stain so be sure to cover your cutting board with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
