We've been lucky to have so many beautiful local apples lately and we know people have been getting pounds and pounds of them. If you're baking with apples, canning them, saucing them, or turning them into butter, you've probably already ended up with a giant pile of apple scraps for the compost. Don't throw that pile out! Those scraps can serve your kitchen for a little longer -- try turning them into vinegar.
Seriously, all you need is this:
Apple scraps (cores, peels and all -- just don't use any moldy pieces)
1/4 cup sugar per 1 cup water
A glass or ceramic crock, bowl or pot to ferment the vinegar in
Mix up enough sugar-water to cover the apple scraps. Store in a glass or ceramic crock with cheesecloth over the top. Let sit for 1-2 weeks. Strain out all the apple scraps and let sit for another few weeks, until it smells and tastes like the vinegar you want. Bottle and enjoy!
