"An unique homemade vinegar made from quinces - the fragrant ingredient that your salads need"

Ingredients

  • quinces - 6.6 lb (3 kg)
  • sugar - 2.2 lb (1 kg)
  • bread yeast - 1 packet (11 g)
  • homemade vinegar - 1 cup (or vinegar sponge)
measures

How to make

The recipe is for 1.3 gal (5 liters) of vinegar.

The quinces are cut into large pieces, 4 or 6 and boiled in 12 cups (3 liters) of water for 10 minutes to soften. They are blended, crushed or finely chopped. Add sugar, another 3 liters of water and the yeast.

Place them in a suitable container for alcoholic fermentation. After 15-20 days, depending on the temperature, which should be above 60°F (18°C), they need to be checked up on.

There should be no sweetness, it should be slightly bitter and with a strong aroma of quinces and alcohol.

Strain the mixture, add the vinegar or vinegar sponge and pour it into a suitable container for vinegar fermentation - in this case, it's best to do that in a barrel of mineral water.

There must be enough empty space in the barrel and free access to oxygen. To make quince vinegar, a temperature above 18°C and the presence of oxygen are required. The time is about 2 months.

If you want to enjoy the superb taste and aroma of quince vinegar, leave it in glass jars for at least 3-4 months.
