Place your fruit in a glass quart, 1/2 gallon, or 1 gallon jar until it's 2/3 full. Cover with water until the fruit is completely submerged. Place a breathable cover on top. My favorite thing to use is a tea towel. Then place a rubber band around the top to secure it in place. Store it where you won't forget about it for 2 to 3 weeks and make sure the fruit remains below the liquid. This is important to prevent mold growth. If your house is on the colder side you may want to add another week. After two to three weeks you should see bubbles, the liquid should have become darker, and it should smell a bit like vinegar. At this point you will strain off the liquid from the fruit and put the liquid in a dark place to let it turn into vinegar. This usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. This will not be as sweet as the vinegar you purchase in the store, but we quickly developed a love for this.
