Sicilian Blood Orange & Warm Spices infused vinegar

In January, we received a huge box of organic Sicilian blood oranges straight from the grower in Sicily, no middle man, no plastics. What a sight, what a smell! Glorious oranges, when cut open, the colours were extraordinary, it was hard not to eat them all. Because they are organic, we have to chop them up and put them in the vinegar as soon as possible.

The cardamom, black peppercorns, Pink Fairy cloves and Ceylon cinnamon are sent to us from the growers in India. A small community of farmers working together.

This infusion blends the zesty flavour of Sicilian blood oranges with apple cider vinegar, creating a refreshing and healthful concoction. Blood oranges are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.

The vinegar aids in digestion and supports metabolic health, while honey offers a sweet touch with antibacterial properties.

Pink Fairy cloves  are high in antioxidants, help regulate blood sugar and kill bacteria.

Cardamom is a fragrant spice that enhances digestion and supports respiratory health.

Ceylon cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic flavour and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Black peppercorns enhance the absorption of nutrients and improve metabolism. Together, these ingredients support heart health, improve digestion, and provide a boost of antioxidants for overall well-being.

Not only does this make a delicious warming or refreshing drink, it is delicious added to salmon or venison, near the end of cooking. The flavours remain, creating a delicious sticky sauce.
