Steps:
- Bring peaches, vinegar, and honey to a simmer in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Cover, and let cool completely.
- Working in batches, puree peach mixture in a food processor until smooth, about 10 seconds. Strain through a fine sieve into a large nonreactive bowl. Line sieve with cheesecloth, and place over another large nonreactive bowl. Pour strained peach mixture into sieve. (Do not press solids in sieve.) Cover with plastic wrap, and let mixture strain in refrigerator overnight (or up to 2 days).
- Uncover, and remove sieve from bowl. Discard solids. Pour peach vinegar into a resealable nonreactive bottle or jar.
PEACH VINEGAR
The flavour is subtle, fruity and fresh. Add to fruit salads or use to create a special glaze for pork dishes. For the best retention of flavors, store flavored vinegars in the refrigerator or a cool dark place. If properly prepared, flavored vinegars should retain good quality for two to three months in cool room storage and for six to eight months in refrigerated storage. -=Attention=- Should you decided to display pretty bottles of herb and fruit vinegars on a kitchen window sill. If left out for more than a few weeks, these bottles are then considered as decoration and not used in food preparation.
