Cane vinegar
Cane vinegar is made by fermenting a sugarcane-derived liquid into vinegar. It is acidic, not simply cane syrup with a sour taste.
Caribbean uses
It can season escabeche, quick pickles and vinaigrettes. The flavor and acidity vary by producer; check the label before substituting it in a preservation recipe.
Preparation and storage
Use food-grade vinegar. The dressing below is for immediate service, not home canning or room-temperature preservation.

Method
- Combine the acid, honey and salt in a small bowl.
