Preparation method

How do you make this?

Peeling the apples: Peel the apples and make applesauce with the peeled apple pieces.

Filling the jar: Fill the glass jar almost to the top with the apple peels.

Adding water: Pour in water until the apple peels are well submerged.

Adding honey: Add the honey and stir briefly with a clean spoon.

Placing a weight: Place some kind of weight on the peels to keep them submerged, for example, a bag filled with water.

Covering: Cover the jar with a cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band.

Fermenting: Store the jar at room temperature. Stir the apple cider vinegar 1-2 times a day. Within a few days, the apples will start to ferment. Continue stirring daily. After 4 weeks, all the sugar will have fermented, and you will have vinegar left.

Strain the vinegar: Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve and pour it into a clean bottle.

Tips

Use the vinegar in sauces and dressings for an extra tasteful touch. You can also use the vinegar to make mayonnaise yourself.
