2:1 ratio sugar to vinegar… seems a little bit too sweet?
1 cup sugar in fry pan on medium heat
Add ~1/4 cup water until consistency of wet sand
Bring to boil – goal is to boil out the water
When sugar starts to color, remove from heat… more caramelization = less sweetness
Add fruit at this stage
Add 1/2 cup vinegar
Return to heat to dissolve sugar
Add alcohol or fruit juice
Turn heat down to simmer
Reduce until coats the back of a spoon
Careful with heat — stop before 212°F, otherwise you’ve got caramel. Immediately pour out of pan into a fresh container. Will thicken as it cools.
