What to do with chive blossoms: Chive vinegar
Flavored vinegars perk up all sorts of dishes, and this one is so very easy.
All you do is pack a jar with the blossoms (pinch them off the stalk) and pour vinegar over. I used plain white vinegar because it is oh so cheap, but if you have it around, white wine vinegar would be oh so nice. I've left mine in the kitchen window, and even after a few hours, the vinegar has turned a beautiful dark pink. After a couple of weeks I will drain the blossoms out and leave it in the dark pantry for a bit.
A note about jars: A quart canning jar is going to be easiest, but not the prettiest. Once you drain the blossoms, you could put it in a fancier jar, but whatever you do, don't hide this pretty-in-pink vinegar in a dark jar.
