Apple cider vinegar recipes

Homemade shrubs

These tangy fruit and vinegar syrups make a great non-alcoholic drink, when diluted with sparkling or tonic water. Choose from our recipes for pomegranate and rosemary, grapefruit and cardamom, or pineapple flavour.

Mexican chicken adobo

Adobo sauce is deep and smoky, with a gentle warmth from chipotle chillies. Rub over chicken legs, then BBQ and serve with salad for a healthy yet hearty lunch.

Smoked chicken wings

Cherry wood gives off a slightly sweeter smoke, and lends these spicy chicken wings a subtle, deliciously fruity flavour.

BBQ chicken and sausages with a Carolina mustard BBQ sauce

Fiery, piquant and less sweet than other varieties, Carolina BBQ sauce complements caramelised, smoky meat perfectly.

Honey-masala spatchcock chicken

You'll need both time and patience for this epic spatchcock chicken dish, made sticky with a honey-masala glaze. Serve with a fresh corn and mango salad.

Celeriac and apple remoulade

A fruity twist on a classic, this celeriac special is a great match for smoked fish. You'll need plenty of black pepper and chopped dill.

Red cabbage salad

This vibrant winter salad combines tangy red cabbage with sweet and sour pomegranates and crisp apple slices. Perfect as a side to roast meats, or for a colourful lunch.

Apple and clotted cream pie

Jazz up your apple pie and make our impressive recipe with clotted cream. This indulgent, warming dessert is the perfect sweet treat to serve friends and family over the winter months.

Pickled chanterelles

Chanterelles are plentiful in Nordic countries and are ripe for foraging, but you can sub in other meaty mushrooms such as oyster instead. Spruce tips give a subtle piney flavour to the pickle – these can be foraged or bought online.

Hibiscus, pomegranate and rose shrub

Experiment with hibiscus powder to make this delightful summery shrub – think of it as a sweetly acidic, grown-up cordial.

Apple salad

Sliced fennel, apple and smoked mackerel come together in this fresh Nordic salad. Serve at lunch or as a starter accompanied by good bread.
