Have you ever made your own homemade vinegar before I love vinegar it s a staple ingredient for me I use it for pickling adding to foods and adding a splash of it to my drinks I had more ripe persimmons than I could finish in time I didn t want them to go to waste So I decided to make some homemade persimmon vinegar Making vinegar is super simple It only requires one ingredient the fruit itself All is takes is consistent daily stirring And in a couple weeks you will have vinegar You can use fruits or fruit scraps like the skins To make vinegar it first needs to become alcohol so the sugar is there so that the yeasts on the persimmon can consume it and then bacteria converts that alcohol to acetic acid making a vinegar Since these persimmons are so high in sugar content I did not need to add anymore sugar In some cases you do in order for the yeasts to colonize your solution faster than mold spores could All I had to do was remove the stem and Calyx the too part then put them in the sterilized jar stir them together and cover with a cloth in this case I used a double ply napkin Then leave it in the dark place and stir everyday And that s how vinegar gets made I love how my love for craft intersects with science and zero waste processes It helps me learn so much about sustainability
