  • Then bring to a rolling boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Now pour into sterilised bottles and cap.
  • Make sure you use a cork or plastic topped caps otherwise they will corrode due to the vinegar.

Questions

How long will this last? Also does it have to be refegerated?

This Elderberry Balsamic Vinegar can last up to a year if stored in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration isn't necessary once bottled and sealed properly. Just keep the bottles tightly capped to maintain freshness.

Have made this a few times now. Very easy and friends enjoy it as well. I noticed at the end of the 5 days a thick film develops on the top, but its easy to remove and dispose of. Has anyone else had the film occur?
