INGREDIENTS

(2) 12 ounce bags whole frozen raspberries
1 gallon white vinegar
sugar to taste

DIRECTIONS

Place frozen raspberries in a large wide mouthed jar.  (If you don’t have a wide-mouth jar around the house, a few well-washed plastic gallon milk jugs and a funnel work very well.)  Warm vinegar and pour over raspberries, reserving approximately 1/2 a bag to add to gift bottles later.  (Immediately return unused portion of raspberries to freezer to prevent thawing and freezing together.)  Cover jar loosely and allow to stand for 8 days, shaking or stirring gently daily.  Strain vinegar and funnel into gift bottles.  For more intense color, add a few of the reserved berries to each gift bottle.
