Making your own vinegar is easy, and it opens up a world of flavors you can't find in stores. Kirsten Shockey introduces you to vinegar's endless possibilities, with ingredients ranging from berries, tomatoes, turmeric, asparagus, and coconut to leftover wine and beer, apple cores, corncobs, juicing pulp, and more. In addition to reducing kitchen waste, homemade vinegars are nutritious, containing the same vitamins and minerals found in the source materials. Enjoy your vinegars in cooking; use them to create delicious, healing tonics such as infused vinegars or oxymels; or make switchels and other nourishing beverages.
