One that I've been making for a couple of years it a Berry vinegar. I give this along with a bottle of good olive oil and it makes a great gift...so easy to make. I buy those neat corked bottles from William Sonoma and fill them one each, stick them in a gift bag, put a little "fun gift paper" in and under the tree they go.
Berry Vinegar
Put fruit into 6 cup GLASS jar. Sprinkle with sugar then pour on vinegar. Cover with lid and let stand for 2 weeks. Strain through double-thickness cheesecloth. Discard fruit. Pour vinegar through funnel into clean bottles and seal.
