Dill in Water on Windowsill

This is a pretty way to keep my freshly cut herbs... Better than the drying refrigerator. It's been there for nearly 10 days, with only one water change. I'm going to do this more often.

DIY Fruit Scrap Vinegar

I'm making apple & cactus pear vinegar

Vinegar is so cheap, why make it, right? True. But if you like flavored vinegars like apple or raspberry, it is less expensive to make it at home. You just need fruit scraps, water, sugar, and patience.

You can vary the amount you make by modifying my recipe, which will make about 1 gallon of fruit vinegar.

As with any food preparation, clean and sterilize all the equipment that you are going to use.
