Forgot to ask this in my last post!  Bev, you mentioned subbing the 
crabapples for regular apples in making cider vinegar.  Have you tried making 
vinegar?  I think we did it by accident with the first batch of hard pear 
cider the spouse made (UNDRINKABLE!) but he dumped it before I could put it 
to use around the house.
 
ANYWAY, if you or others on the list have vinegar making skills and advice to 
share, I'd love to hear about it.  My goal next year is to find ways to use 
everything we get from the garden (in things other than compost!).
 
And.... I see I have to run outside and tie down some cheapo plastic 
greenhouse material we put over our tomatoes.  The wind is really picking up 
ahead of the newest rain squall...  (I STILL have tomatoes on the vine, in 
spite of some hard frosts!  I've been covering them up at night.  Hoping I 
can keep them going through Thanksgiving).
