Apple Cider Vinegar

I saw this and thought it was so easy why should we ever by apple cider vinegar again?! I can go through a ton of vinegar when the mood strikes me: I make spray bottles of apple cider vinegar and water to clean the counters, clean the bathrooms, clean up after my fur-baby, etc. I mop the floors with it and even use it in recipes and condiments from time to time. ;-) Since it is so useful and versatile, why not keep your own homemade batch on hand? All you need are:

-apple scraps (peels and cores)

-white, granulated sugar

-water

The easiest recipe I found suggests a ¼ cup of sugar to 1 quart of water. Load up a large jar with your apple scraps, and then fill it to the top with water and sugar. The combination needs to breathe, so cover with a clean cloth and secure it to your jar with a rubber band. Put it away in a dark cupboard for 4-6 weeks, and then strain out your fresh vinegar. That’s it! If it doesn't seem strong enough yet just add more sugar and put it back in the cupboard for a couple more weeks.

You may not be a fan of white sugar, but it’s the best catalyst for the bacteria that make your vinegar. If you must, you can substitute in your preferred type of honey.
