Homemade Vinegar

Hello Dear Friends,

Making vinegar at home pretty simple. Wash, chop, put in jar and add some water, honey or sugar, salt and chickpeas to leaven. The only remaining process is to wait in a warm place without direct sunlight.

I prepared it in a 3-liter jar using leftover apples, quinces and pears.

You can also just use apples. The important thing is that it is ripe, past fruits will give even better results, but they should not be rotten. Cut off the rotten parts and use the solid parts.

Do not forget to put a container under it where you will store it, stir it occasionally and check its smell. As you can see in the photos, all the fruits fill the jar at first, they start to collapse over time and become blurry.

Mixing is to prevent the fruits from getting moldy at first. A transparent gel-like layer will form on the vinegar, don't throw it away. mother of vinegar it's called. You can use it when you make other vinegar. Thus, you do not need to add chickpeas to leaven.

In a glass jar and cover its mouth with cheesecloth, let it breathe so that it can ferment.

At the end of these processes, you have almost 1,3 liters of vinegar.

Love…
