Note
Store the finished vinegar in a cool, dark place to maintain its color and flavor. It will keep for several months.
For a stronger flavor, you can extend the steeping time up to a week, checking the taste periodically.
Use this vinegar in salad dressings, marinades for poultry or pork, or as a finishing touch for fruit desserts.
Ensure all jars and utensils are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized to prevent spoilage during the infusion process.
If you prefer a sweeter vinegar, you can increase the amount of sugar slightly.
