Such a pretty and tasty vinegar. It's a great addition to any salad featuring fruit. I'm enjoying this vinegar so much, I'm trying other fruit combinations like lemon and saskatoon infused vinegar. Same technique just different fruit.

Cap tightly, shake and leave in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks.
Sample vinegar for flavour. Allow to infuse longer or strain.

You could make this recipe directly in a fancy jar. Vinegar may get slightly opaque or cloudy over time if not strained. Yield 2 cups or 500 ml
