Making Apple Cider Vinegar

At the half-time of the 4 week journey.

Hello everyone on this North Florida cloudy day. Even a cloudy day can become a good day, if you would only let it be! I try to make the most out of every passing day as if it were a natural wonder, which it is.

You never quite know where each day will take you, if you only let it. I hope that you will look for joy and awesome wonder in each of your days as I do care about each and everyone of you.

We are all God,s children and let us enjoy what he gives to us daily. I for one am always in wonder, what will it be this day or the next day or even forward ahead in the days we have. We may only have this day so let us make it an enjoyable day, where-ever we may be on our journey!

Ok, now I will let you know what I am in the middle of now, as I am always on a creating journey of many different things that I am curious about knowing how, what, why do you do that! Life is a journey for me, you see and I intend to not let it pass me by!

I am in the middle phase of making home-made apple cider vinegar in a big old crock. And it is looking really good as it is fermenting away, lots of bubbles. It does take a month so you need to keep this in sight somewhere cool and dark (no sun-light).

As I was cutting up apples to can in those awesome mason jars, I kept all the scraps from the apples. The apple cores and peelings and seeds and stems, all of it. I had washed the apples very well back at the start of my canning journey.

I put all the scraps into a big crock that I use to ferment things in. AKA the best sour-kraut that you will ever eat, which one of these days I will post about.

After you have put the apple scraps into the crock(or even a big jar). Add in water to with-in 3 inches from the top. As the liquid may rise and spill if too full. Pour in 3/4 c of molasses and use a wooden spoon (always) and stir in well. I used a saucer to weigh the apple products down and covered the crock with a clean dish towel. Then I had a huge rubber-band that held the towel in place so it could breathe as it bubbled away for the month of waiting.

It is recommended to stir it a little, about every three days with a wooden spoon. When mine is finished, then I will post a photo for you!
