Mango Drinking Vinegar

3/4 cup Mango
3/4 cup Sugar

Mix together, put in refrigerator to get all juices out.




Strawberry Drinking Vinegar

This is a new recipe for me, I found some at Portland's Farmers Market, this is a big thing at Pok Pok, and very expensive to buy at the farmer's market so I decided to try making my own.  I found a lot of recipes, some where you cook the ingredients and the cold process method.  I do plan on trying both but for my first recipe I decided to try the cold process as I already had some strawberries, previously soaked in sugar in the freezer.  All I needed to do was add more sugar, add the vinegar let it sit and see how it turns out.

Ingredients for this batch

2 cups strawberries
2 cups sugar
3 cups vinegar (should probably have been 2 cups, but let's see how it turns out.

berries were frozen with sugar, added 1 more cup of sugar
added vinegar and let stand over night
strained through sieve and bottled
refrigerated

Note: personally at this time there is sediment in the bottles, I plan on filtering more to see how well it turns out.

Update: 5/7/12 filtered product 1st time and tried it with Diet Sierra Mist, Wow!!!  It was fantastic.  I will enjoy having this around.
