Recipes with Raspberry Vinegar
Raspberry Sorbet
Raspberry Sorbet
by Anna Paolozzi
This sorbet is made with all raw ingredients and has the added subtle flavour of delicious Womersley Raspberry Vinegar, which adds a beautiful depth to the taste of the raspberries. It’s no churn so you don’t need an ice cream maker and it’s also low glycaemic, gluten and dairy free.
I am a big Womersley vinegar fan and use their vinegars for the best salad dressings, pickling fruit and vegetables, and tastes brilliant in pickled shallots and watermelon, curing fish like my Venetian sardines and I add it as a condiment to pasta sauces and vegetable stews like my caponata to add that extra piquancy.
Makes about half a pint
Ingredients
500g of fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries from the supermarket frozen fruit section
half a cup of maple syrup (or to taste)
1 tbs of Womersley Raspberry Vinegar
lemon zest of one lemon
Method
Firstly, if you have fresh raspberries, freeze them with them spread out on a baking tray or plate so they don’t stick together in a clump, this should take a few hours. Once frozen tip them or the shop bought frozen raspberries into a food processor and working quickly, because you need to keep it really cold, add the lemon zest, the vinegar and maple syrup. Blitz it all together until it’s smooth. Then scoop it in batches into a big metal sieve over a freezer container, and again working quickly, push the mixture through into the container with the back of a wooden spoon until you have sieved out the seeds. You will have to scrape the mixture off the underneath of the sieve with a spatula and put it into the container, but you can leave the seeds in if you prefer. Put the sorbet into the freezer to firm up. How firm you like is up to you. It should stay scoopable, but if it’s not, take it out ten minutes before serving.
I sometimes serve it with grated dark chocolate on top or with a small vanilla biscuit.

Rhubarb and Raspberry Vinegar Pasties with Smoked Wensleydale Cheese
Rhubarb and Raspberry Vinegar Pasties with Smoked Wensleydale Cheese
by Josh Angel
Ingredients:
PASTIES
200g Rhubarb, finely diced (Yorkshire Forced, if available)
1 Red Onion, finely diced
10ml Rapeseed Oil
100ml Womersley Raspberry Vinegar
75g Dark Brown Sugar
250g Puff Pastry
100g Oak Smoked Wensleydale Cheese
3 Egg Yolks
Pinch Salt and Pepper
DRESSING
50ml Womersley Raspberry Vinegar
25g Wholegrain Mustard
50ml Rapeseed Oil
Rocket or fresh salad leaf
Pinch Salt and Pepper
Heat the finely diced red onion and rhubarb in a heavy based pan with the 10ml of rapeseed oil.
Sweat off the onion and rhubarb, adding the Womersley Raspberry Vinegar at this point; also add seasoning and the dark brown sugar.
Continue to cook on a low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
When the contents have turned to a chutney-like state, set aside and allow to cool gently
Pre-heat oven to 180ËšC, place a sheet of greaseproof paper on a flat baking sheet and set aside.
Flour a clean, dry surface and roll out the puff pastry; using a 10cm cutter, cut discs of the puff pastry.
Cut the cheese into 5cm squares and place on half of the puff pastry discs; place a spoonful of the chutney onto the cheese and then an additional disc of puff pastry on top.
Seal the discs together using a fork and place the finished pasties on the baking sheet.
Use the egg yolks to wash the pasties before placing them into the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Whilst your pasties are in the oven, make the dressing; take a glass bowl and mix the Raspberry vinegar and mustard, along with the seasoning. Slowly add the oil, stirring continually to avoid the dressing splitting.
Remove your pasties from the oven.
Take your rocket or other fresh leaf, and dress lightly with the dressing.
Assemble on the plate and place your pasties on top; if preferred place an additional spoon of the chutney on top.
Enjoy with a crisp glass of chilled chardonnay for that extra treat.
