Ingredients

  • four ounces of shalots
  • two ounces of garlic to a quart of vinegar
  • three drops will be sufficient to impart a garlic taste to a pint of gravy
  • a quart of vinegar
  • a pint of gravy

Directions

1

Peel and chop fine four ounces of shalots, or small button onions. Pour on them a quart of the best vinegar, and let them steep a fortnight; then strain and bottle it.

2

Make garlic vinegar in the same manner; using but two ounces of garlic to a quart of vinegar. Two or three drops will be sufficient to impart a garlic taste to a pint of gravy or sauce. More will be offensive. The cook should be cautioned to use it very sparingly, as to many persons it is extremely disagreeable.
