Ingredients
- 6 medium Tomatillos
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 12 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the tomatillos thoroughly under cold water to remove their sticky residue, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Chop each tomatillo into quarters.
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice each one in half.
Step 3
Layer the chopped tomatillos, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves in a large sterilized glass jar (at least 1-quart capacity).
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring gently until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Do not let the mixture boil.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the vinegar mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the warm vinegar mixture over the layered tomatillos, cherry tomatoes, and basil in the jar, making sure all ingredients are fully submerged.
Step 7
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
Step 8
Allow the vinegar to infuse for at least 1 week before using to allow the flavors to meld properly. Shake the jar gently every couple of days to redistribute the ingredients.
Step 9
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle for storage. Discard the solids.
Step 10
Store your Tomatillos, Cherry Tomatoes, and Basil Vinegar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Shake well before use and enjoy it in your favorite recipes!
