Ulog 126: Nasturium Vinegar
My nasturtium flowers are growing at a rapid pace right now, and I hate to see the lovely blossoms and flowers go to waste. We've been eating some of the leaves with our salads over the last few weeks, but Mr Golden D is unsure of actually eating the flowers; even though I have shown him (by eating some myself) that they are NOT deadly.
He's still not convinced.
So I decided to make some nasturtium vinegar to use when making salad dressings, marinades for meats, on roasted vegetables and my homemade cole-slaw. I have dehydrated an entire quart jar filled to the brim of the flower petals for future use over the winter months, but I wanted to also take advantage of the fresh blossoms now.

You've been visited by @porters from Homesteaders Co-op. What a lovely looking vinegar and great way for using some of those nasturtiums! I think I will give it a try for I have quite a few nasturtium blooms and I hate to see them all being killed off by the frost when they can make such lovely vinegar! Thanks for sharing! ---

Beautiful, @goldendawne. I love nasturtiams, they's so perky and lively and such a a nice addition to salads :) Great idea!
This is my first year ever growing nasturtium and I am ecstatic about the growth results!
I have them all throughout the garden areas for a burst of color and they are delicious too!
Never heard of Nasturtium vinegar before! No doubt it is amazing and probably ridiculously good for you. I should give this a go... as there is no shortage of nasturtiums here.
I came across the recipe on Pinterest recently and thought, what a GREAT idea!
I'm making some cole-slaw today for dinner so I'm anxious to see how the flavor of the flowers enhance the slaw dressing I make. Usually I use red wine vinegar... but sometimes that's just too tangy for me.
ooooh that sounds fantastic! No doubt it will be SUPER! Do tell after... :)
While I am not at this level of garden to table, my friend @donnadavisart loves nasturtium!
Pretty.

They are gorgeous and delicate flowers, but so delicious at the same time.
That is a really beautiful color! What a good idea! Have you tried it yet? Did it pick up the peppery taste of the flowers?
Oh it is!!! I wish I had more of the pinkish nasturtiums to see the color they would develop.
YES!! It was a wonderful addition to the cole-slaw. I made some, let it get cold in the fridge and had a sample. The peppery undertones are there... so be careful when seasoning with salt and pepper.
Okay, so that's how you make vinegar from flower...and I have to say, that's a very nice proof that something is edible, lol.
I actually like the colour of the vinegar, looks like honey... :)
I usually make my own vinegar, but didn't have enough to try to this experiment. I will be making more vinegar this week.
Oh, Dawn!! The color is divine!! I grow and eat nasturtium flowers. When they are in season, or enough rain to keep them happy, they are so prolific!
I had no idea about the vinegar and now I will have to try it with the crop I have. I already dehydrated most of them but, if I wait a moment or three, I will have another abundant burst of blooms.
Thank you as always for your inventive ideas - or pass along! Either way! They are great! Have a most wonderful day!
