Jamie Oliver on Vinegar

Many thanks to Sabrina Ghayour for drawing my attention to this nicely written article by Jamie Oliver in the Daily Mail online (published in Femail on 9th March).
And, if you don't want to make your own Raspberry Vinegar, you know where to buy the best!

And here are a few lovely Raspberry Vinegar ideas and a recipe for you:

• Blend with a fine Rapeseed Oil for a smooth and fruity salad dressing
• Splash into a glass of fizz or mineral water
• Drizzle over your Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings
• Swirl into a hot toddy
