If I wanted to make flavored vinegar could I just put the juice of the fruit
into white vinegar or is it a process starting with the fruit???

Fill a container with the whole fruits in and fill up with vinegar. I do
not use white, but either wine or cider. Cap and put away somewhere for
several weeks.

The is a difference between vinegars. It was fun to me to try several
different all at once. White (grain) vinegar can be harsh or sharp, and
sometimes this is wanted. White wine vinegar has a softer, a tiny bit sweeter
taste. Rice wine vinegar is very much sweeter and, depending on the brand,
not so sour. Cider vinegar has a pronouced flavor that enhances different
things. Red wine vinegar might be good for berries, and has a bold flavor all
its own. Have fun!

I start with the fruit and I use other vinegars besides white vinegar.
White wine vinegar is nice. Sometimes I use a blend of vinegars
depending on what I'm making. I make herbed vinegars with white vinegar.

I make vinegars for sale and it's a very simple process.
I don't use white or distilled vinegar alone because it's just dilute
acetic acid. No flavor beyond the acid.
I use fresh or dried ingredients and handle them both the same way. Put
the solids in a bottle (I mostly use wine bottles - 750 ml) - no more
than maybe 3 ounces by weight total nad fill hte bottle with vinegar,
either one kind or a blend. Put the bottle, uncorked, into a water bath
that comes at least 6 inches up the side, bring the water to about 180°F
and hold it there for an hour. Remove the bottle from the water, wipe,
cork and let it sit overnight. It's done.
Just the juice would be very weak.
I use herbs, fresh or dried fruit, spices, dried produce (tomatoes,
peppers, garlic, etc.).
