How to Make Honeyed Wine Vinegar

  1. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine 1 cup honey, 1 cup raisins, ½ cup chopped fresh figs, and 1 cup sweet wine (like Marsala or Vin Santo).
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces to approximately 1 cup (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Strain the reduced mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids (raisins and figs).
  4. Place the remaining 1 cup raisins and ½ cup chopped fresh figs in a piece of cheesecloth; tie securely to create a sachet.
  5. In a clean 1-quart jar, combine the strained honey-wine reduction, 1 cup red wine vinegar, and 1 cup white wine vinegar.
  6. Add the cheesecloth sachet containing the raisins and figs to the jar.
  7. Cover the jar tightly and let it stand in a cool, dark place for 3-4 weeks, shaking gently every few days.
  8. After 3-4 weeks, remove and discard the cheesecloth sachet. Strain the vinegar through a dampened coffee filter into a clean 1-quart bottle.
  9. Seal the bottle tightly. Your Honeyed Wine Vinegar will keep for up to 1 year when stored in a cool, dark place.
