Thanks for the link love!

I didn’t know that about Heinz apple cider vinegar, Duane. I always buy Bragg’s organic — it’s the best:

Or you can start making your own out of scraps like apple cores! See my first book, “Botany, Ballet, & Dinner from Scratch”, or Sandor Katz’ “Wild Fermentation” for recipes. And yes, you can test your homemade vinegar at home to make sure it has a high enough acetic acid content to do its job as a household cleanser and disinfectant.

It is worth noting that Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar is not apple cider vinegar at all. In small letters below the words “Apple Cider” it says “flavored” then in big letters again “Vinegar”. The ingredients are vinegar from grain (i.e. GMO corn) “natural flavors and caramel to give it the dark color.
