Raspberry vinegar

Options
i've discovered a bottle of rather expensive raspberry vinegar at the back of my cupboard - obviously a gift from somebody. Any ideas for special uses which will make the most of its characteristics?

    Mix with olive oil and dip warm toasted pitta bread in. Mmmm, yum.

    When I were a lad... we always used to have raspberry vinegar on pancakes (day) - probably not expensive stuff though, think the local chippy flogged it.

    fruit vinegars can be used as salad dressings - either neat or mixed with olive oil, to marinate meat (add herbs/spices to your taste), drink neat to soothe a sore throat or drink it mixed with soda water and ice or added to a G&T.

    Wonderful for a cold: add hot water & honey to taste.

    Try small portions of cheese dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and quickly fried. Serve with side salad and raspberry vinegar. Works well with Camembert or those little Babybels (take the rind off first, though!)

    I had some I ignored for about 10 years. It had developed a sediment so I decided it was best placed in the bathroom to get my taps sparkly.

    Well, you will laugh at this because over the weekend we dismantled our vegetable patch irrigation system. The tiny spinkler rosettes in the hose get clogged with limescale over the season so i pulled them out and they're currently soaking in a small amount of the raspberry vinegar as it was the only vinegar I had in the cupboard :rotfl:

    My Grandma used to make it and she always gave it to us when we had sore throats.

    Off-topic I know but someone has just recommended Honegar (honey & cider vinegar) for arthritis and joint pain.
