A lot of specialty shops carry fruit/herb vinegars. You can also buy them online. It's also really easy to make!!! Here's how I do it:

--2 c. vinegar (I use white wine)
--a pint of fruit (I've only ever used berries)
--2 Tbsp. sugar (optional, but it makes a difference)

1. Boil the fruit, vinegar, and sugar for about 3 minutes
2. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Pour through either a cheesecloth or a few coffee filters into a jar and cover with a tight lid/seal.
4 Let this jar sit in a cool dark place for 2 weeks.

After 2 weeks...
--Get a colander out and line it with either a few coffee filters or cheese cloth and strain the vinegar through the layers into a bowl. TOSS THE FRUIT. Put the strained vinegar into a bottle or jar. Cover tightly.

Good to use for about six months or so.

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE VINEGAR? BLACKBERRY VINEGAR!!! Blueberry is pretty good, too! Most stores sell raspberry vinegar. These vinegars are great FATFREE and safe condiments/marinates/dressings, etc.
