My family has been trying to cut down on the amount of them growing in our yard for yeeeeeeears. They're in the lawn, in the garden, in pots, everywhere. The colour of that vinegar is incredible, by the way, and I'll need to try that as soon as the crop starts flowering.<BR/><BR/>My goal is to eat more flowers this year, and I think I'm well on my way.~ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332417973907774338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-1149563871577940002006-06-05T23:17:00.000-04:002006-06-05T23:17:00.000-04:00This is a great idea and I can't wait to try it. ...This is a great idea and I can't wait to try it. I think you should probably use it quickly though (within a week or two). I know when you flavor oils with hot peppers you need to dehydrate them first because if any moisture is present, then bacteria can grow. <BR/><BR/>I don't know if it's the same with vinegar but I'd use it quick just to be sure. And since it sounds delicious, you shouldn't have a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-1149526278788349512006-06-05T12:51:00.000-04:002006-06-05T12:51:00.000-04:00This is the first time I've tried making herbal vi...<I>This is the first time I've tried making herbal vinegar, so I haven't tried it with rosemary or thyme yet.
