Acetomel is a syrup made from honey and vinegar, giving a sweet and sour taste. It was commonly used in the preservation of fruit, though it is very seldom used today.[1] Certain fruits, when preserved thus, such as quinces, pears, and grapes, are called aceto-dolce, that is "sweet-and-sour fruit".[2][3]
