Wine Vinegar

Ingredients

• any vinous liquor
• fruit or stalks of the vegetable from which the wine was obtained

Directions

1. Put the vinous liquor into a recently used vinegar cask.

2. Add the wet fruit or stalks into a cask without a head.

3. Cover with a coarse cloth and place in sunlight for six days.

4. Stir the mixture into your vinegar.

5. In winter, keep it warm; in hot weather, place it in a sunny yard with a slate over the bung.

6. Allow it to ferment until it turns sour and becomes vinegar.

7. Once sufficiently sour, rack it into a clean vinegar cask, seal it, and store in your cellar.
