Home Canned Strawberry Vinaigrette ~ Steam Canning ~ Strawberry Fruit Shrub Base ~ Mother's Day

#ballfreshpreserving #strawberry #vinaigrette #strawberryvinaigrette #mothersday
You will want this beautiful and easy strawberry vinaigrette in your home canned pantry for summer salads and a fruity summer cocktail. Use as is for a summery punch to your salads or elevate it with oil and seasonings of your choosing. Add ~2T. to a glass with ice then top with club soda for a Strawberry Fruit Shrub...yum!
5 quarts (25 cups) fresh whole strawberries, washed and stemmed
1-quart (4 cups) white distilled vinegar (or other vinegar of your choosing 5% acidity or higher, I used white wine vinegar)
Sugar equal to strawberry vinegar
Ladle hot vinaigrette into hot half pint jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.
Process for 10 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes
Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.

Waste not want not. I made jam with my strawberries and made my vinaigrette with the strawberry tops. It turned out perfect! I can’t wait to have a salad

[@karenesposito488]

I made this. It's delicious. I am drinking some strawberry vinegar shub as I'm typing this. It's so very delicious. Thank you for making this video.

[@phaleen]

Thank you Carol.........that looks so good. Love the suggestions on the multi uses for this recipe. 🤩 I think this is the first time your recipe matched the amount of the Ball recipe. 😮😅😂

[@gracehillgranny5445]

Beautiful! That looks delicious. I think spinach with apples, bacon crumbles and sunflower seeds or pecans would be a great way to sample this vinaigrette. . Thanks, Carol for sharing.

[@tracyg4783]

I’m making strawberry lemonade concentrate today and was looking for something to do with my tops. I think this would be so good, I love white wine vinegar too so we are going to give it a go.

[@Fernie4243]

Delicious! About 2 months ago I made a recipe that left me with a lit of strawberry tops and ends so I made a half gallon of strawberry vinegar. I've been using that to make a nice dressing, but I can't can it. This would be a nice option so I can have the same flavors the rest of the year. Thank you for sharing!

[@gracehillgranny5445]

Great idea! Be sure to test your acidity for 5%.

[@stephanie932]

First time I’m posting to your channel, but NOT the first recipe that I’ve tried. This turned out delicious! I’m not sure where I went wrong but I ended up with 18 half-pints and I won’t complain one bit! I did take your advice and used white wine vinegar. I paired it with some specialty olive oil that I recently bought at a farmers’ market called "Greek Leek" and it was amazing! Thanks for so many great recipes! Keep them coming! 😉🥰

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

This sounds amazing good! I will be trying this with my home grown strawberries!

[@ramonaharris5255]

Thanks for sharing this Carol it sounds amazing especially now that summer is.

[@marysaylor8458]

Raspberry would be good also, I love Raspberry dressing on spinach salad.

[@elizabethrowe9432]

Champagne vinegar would be epic here!

[@laila277]

Yummy!! I’ve got to make this. Thank you Carol! ❤️

[@Plantsonpurpose]

I love my steam canner. I am definitely making this!

[@madmecyr]

Great idea! I'm always looking for differnt things to can up esp thinking of gift giving the foodies in the family :)

[@kimberlyhaney7582]

I have been looking at this recipe, thank you for doing this recipe. Thank you for reminding me about the vinegar, great idea.

[@janinejohnson1898]

What a great idea. I will definitely make this recipe. Thank you! ♥️☮️

[@talisman8402]

Love this!! ❤ What do we do with all those strawberries, though, after they soaked in vinegar?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I’m not sure you can do anything with them bc all of their flavor has been infused into the vinegar

[@talisman8402]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Oh, that's fine. That means they're used up and nothing gets wasted! Thanks so much, love!!

[@vnlindsay]

Can’t wait to try this!!!

[@rcgkreations]

Pretty color

[@stephaniejackson8555]

Using the pits from my cherries, I made a cherry vinegar. Thinking I can now add sugar for vinaigrette.

[@rosewilder2043]

Do you think this could be done with similar fruits, like raspberries?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You’ll have to use your own discretion on that. The recipe only stated strawberries

[@rosewilder2043]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you

[@terrycarter6485]

Blueberry or blackberries would be good as well. Especially on salmon I can strawberry and blackberry jam. Recipe should be the same blueberries as well

[@PDXTundra]

Beautiful in that bottle! I’ll bet it tastes wonderful! I’m curious though, what to do with the strawberries after infusing the vinegar? Give the kitty a chin scratch for me ❤️. Thanks, Carol!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I tossed them bc they have little strawberry flavor left and taste more like vinegar. I haven’t had much time to ponder a good use for them …

[@QueenMary.A.L]

What did you use your strawberries for? You could probably use them to make strawberry vinegar but now sure how that would work with them soaked in vinegar already. But the strawberry tops you cut off would be very good for strawberry vinegar.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I tossed them. I didn’t think they would be good for much of anything

[@dorasanchez1113]

Did you do anything with the strawberries after you drained them or did you just toss them?

[@cindiheinrich7399]

I was wondering the same thing, seems like there should be something you can do with the left over berries.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I tossed them. They don’t have much strawberry flavor left but more of a vinegar flavor so I wasn’t sure what would be a good use for them…

[@gracehillgranny5445]

Inquiring minds would like to know....

[@renalarue6988]

Do you think dehydrating them to use for crunchiest on a salad would be worthwhile?​@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231

[@caseyntrent]

I love this and want to try it. Can you elaborate on how much oil (what kind of oil) you would add the the 8 oz jar to make the dressing. We have a local restaurant that has a signature strawberry vinaigrette that they make in-house and it is to die for!! But it definitely has oil and seasonings in it. Thanks in advance!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar is traditional 😊. But you can always play around with amounts to your liking

[@sitcheyr9352]

Can you replace the sugar with honey?

[@okier7368]

It sounds delicious but what did you use the strawberries for afterwards?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Discarded them

[@karenesposito488]

I threw them in the compost

[@barbarahurford8412]

Is there a sugar free version that you know of?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

No im sorry

[@vicky52557985]

What did you do with the strawberries?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

They’re not good for anything after soaking them so I threw them out

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

I have frozen strawberries. Could i use those instead of fresh?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It states fresh but I don’t see why you couldn’t use frozen

[@lindaj1548]

Is that a typo error… 25 cups of strawberries???? What do you do with strawberries after??

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It is not a typo. There’s nothing you can do with them after that I’m aware of bc they taste like vinegar. But trust me, this recipe is worth it

[@janniemay4966]

Is it safe to use half the sugar

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes but it will change the flavor
