                           MAKING VINE VINEGAR 

                                                    AT HOME








Making vinegar at home has been practiced since ancient time. It was used as a medicine at that time.  Home made vinegar is much more healthier and better tasting than the vinegar which you buy from stores. Also it is easy to make.
You can use many different fruit to make vinegar ...like grapes, apples, berries ....

INGREDIENTS

1kg-2lb  red or white grapes
3 lt -  6,3 pint water
1 sliced white bread
1 tbsp. chickpea
1/2 tbsp. crack wheat (bulgur)
1 tsp sea salt
a wide mouth jar
a piece of cheeseclot






Wash well grapes, drain . Put grapes into the jar with stalks,  pour 3 lt-6.3pint water,  cover the mouth of jar with cheesecloth. Leave the jar in a dark place for 2 weeks. If you can't find a dark place cover the jar with folio or dark color plastic bag. You will see a grayish scum form on the surface. This is normal.
End of two weeks  strain the liquid through a piece of cheesecloth. Squeeze grapes to remove all the juice thoroughly. Don't wash the jar. Pour the liquid back to jar. Add slice of bread, chickpea , crack wheat and salt. Cover the lid of jar. Leave in a dark place  for 40 days. A layer is formed on top which resembling jellyfish. This is 'mother of vinegar ' which can use as yeast for next vinegar making. Strain the liquid through a coffee filters , store in glass bottles.
