Grape Vinegar

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Grape Vinegar
Categories: Vinegars
Yield: 1 Batch

Method

Use any grapes or bunches of over-ripe grapes, place loosely in preserving
pan and cover with water, bring to boil. Then put into stone, wooden or
earthenware jars, and allow to ferment for 3 or 4 days, stirring morning
and night. Strain through jelly bag into wide open-mouthed jars, adding one
cup of sugar to every 6 quarts of juice. Tie muslin on the top to keep out
dust and insects. Place on a sunny verandah if possible, because the more
freely the air gets into it the quicker the vinegar comes. When quite acid
strain once more and bring to boil, so no vinegar plants will grow, then
the vinegar is ready to use. Light coloured grapes make light vinegar and
dark grapes make dark vinegar.
