Peach and Rosemary Vinegar

Submitted by evelynathens

"From Aglaia Kremezi. If a fragrant peach is not available, dried apricots or other fresh fruits such as pears, strawberries or raspberries can be substituted. Also, instead of fresh rosemary, try dried Mediterranean oregano, thyme or savory -- herbs that are more robust in their dried form as opposed to fresh. Use this vinegar to dress salads, especially delicate ones that include fruit. 3-4 week standing time."

I'm really enjoying this. I'd forgotten it for awhile, as it went through the steeping process, but when I got it out and tried it finally, it's really tasty and certainly a happy addition to my Summer salads.
