This easy vinegar recipe is a wonderful way to preserve this abundant spring flower, which tends to appear from mid-May to the end of June. Make up a large batch and it can be used year-round until the next season arrives. The vinegar is great for pickling vegetables, whisking into salad dressings, or even add a dash to your next gin and tonic for a tart finish.
