Newbie LEARNING to make VINEGAR at home

Welcome Homestead Revival Barn Hoppers too!  Link HERE!


Wish me luck!  I have found the blogs of two fellow minded renaissance women.  You know the type, do it yourselfers, that can't accept "no" for an answer.  We work around obstacles and blaze loopy trails.  Sometimes, choking down a little dust, no worse for wear. Let's see how much damage I can do this week...

Last evening, I stumbled upon Kathy Felsted Usher's awesome blog MOVING ON TO THE PAST.  Her current Homestead Revival Preparedness Challenge post features an article depicting her making homemade vinegar with old apples, water, and sugar.  Wow, so few ingredients, who knew? Not me.  Anyway, I was mesmerized by her description and the beautiful pictures she posted so I though I gotta try that.  So, today I mixed up a batch of my own.
Pretty, huh.

It gets better.  Today when checking in on Kathy's blog I noticed that she responded to my comments with the url of another blogger's attempt at making vinegar.  The person she got the idea from is Patti at the blog Watching Over the Heart and Home.  Well, her pics were just as pretty and she has already successfully completed this vinegar project on her own.  I guess I'll know whether or not I have succeeded in about a few weeks, wish me luck.
