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).
