Ingredients




2 cups White wine vinegar
1 pound Peaches, stoned and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 Put the vinegar into a medium, nonreactive saucepan and warm over low heat just until it begins to give off vapor (do not bring to a boil). Stir in the peach cubes and cook for 1 minute.

Strain the contents through a fine sieve into a 4-cup glass measuring cup. Discard the fruit residue and rinse the sieve. Rinse the Mason jar and return the strained vinegar to the jar. Dampen a flat-bottom coffee filter and fit it into the sieve. Rinse the  3 Transfer the vinegar to flasks, bottles, or cruets. The vinegar should be ready to use immediately, with a shelf life of at least 1 year. 4 YIELD: 2 cups 5 VARIATION: To make Peach Mint Vinegar, place 1 sprig fresh mint in the container before pouring in the vinegar.
