Strawberry Vinegar

1 1/2 cups small ripe fresh strawberries, hulled
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

In medium-size jar, place berries and vinegar. Seal jar and let stand in a sunny window for 3 or 4 days or until vinegar takes on a bright red color. The berries will soften and lose their color.

Strain vinegar mixture into a 1-quart stainless-steel or enamel saucepan and discard the berries.

Stir sugar into vinegar and heat to boiling. Simmer over low heat 10 minutes.

Cool vinegar and pour into 1-pint bottle. Seal and store in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator.
