| Has anyone made cider vinegar from crab apples?
I have almost 3gal that should be done in a couple of weeks. If it passes the 'taste' test I intend to use it for pickling! Any comments/suggestions? Thanks. |

| I have about 1 gal of cider that was 10% crabapples and 90% unpasteurized juice. I hypothesize that, if you picked the right crabapples, you may have a strong, interesting vinegar, possibly superior to my cider vinegar (which is pretty decent). There is a lot of variation amongst crabapples, though. I taste and spit every crabapple or every aronia I can lay my hands on, and only one in about 4 I think is worthy of trying. It usually works well with crabapple mixtures though, because one gets some bitter/tart balance from the mix. |

| Thanks for the reply. I simply downloaded some info on vinegar making from the internet, and thought I'd try what I had on hand. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. Occasionally had homemade wine to turn to vinegar by itself. Elderberry vinegar is unusual... but not bad. I have a Dolgo & a Centennial on order for the spring. |

| Would you mind sharing your vinegar recipes? I am trying to make one out of apple cores and grape-wine-sludge (juice with sentiment from our wine-making) But... I'm just not sure if it's working or not. |
