This is a really interesting Canadian recipe for a sweet and salty seaweed infused vinegar.

Ingredients:

4-5 tbsp maple syrup
20g dried kelp (kombu) [Laminaria digitata (Oarweed) or Saccharina latissima (Sugar Kelp) or Alaria esculenta (Dabberlocks/Atlantic Wakame))) for wild food versions]
20g wakame
4 tbsp dried pepper dulse, slightly crumbled
2 dried red chillies
1½-2 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
850ml cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar

Method:

Combine all the ingredients except the vinegar in a sterilized and warmed 1l jar. Pour the vinegar into a saucepan and heat to just below boiling. Take off the heat and immediately pour over the seaweed in the jar.

Secure with a vinegar-proof lid and set aside in a cool, dark, place for 2-3 weeks to infuse. During this time invert and shake the jar every day.

At the end of the time strain the vinegar through a fine-meshed sieve into clean bottle or glass containers. Seal securely and store in a cool, dark, place (preferably below 18°C) where they will keep, unopened, for up to 6 months.

Once opened store in your refrigerator.
