    1       c            Rose geranium leaves,

   jar and crush lightly with a wooden spoon.  Pour in the hot vinegar and

   swirling contents occasionally. Strain the vinegar through a sieve lined
   with 2 layers of dampened cheesecloth into a sterilized bottle. Drop in the
   fresh raspberries and fresh geranium leaf. Cap or cork the bottle. Makes 1
   quart.
