Making apple cider vinegar at home has become one of my favourite homesteading traditions for fall over the past three years for several reasons:
1) it's cheap, basically free (all you need is apple scraps from baking, or whole homegrown apples such as the unripe ones shaken down by storms)
2) it's zero waste because it actually makes use of waste! (apple waste that is)
3) it's super easy to make and doesn't require much work on your part (you simply have to stir it once a day for a week or two until it "tells" you it's done!)
4) it gives you an excuse to make a delicious apple dish!
So the next time you're making apple pie or apple butter, make sure to save the scraps and make your own organic apple cider vinegar!
