What apples to choose for vinegar

Ingredients for 1 kilogram of apples

• apples and apple prunings
• raw honey (unheated) - 1/2 cup
• filtered water - 700-800 ml
• leftover unfiltered vinegar or vinegar mushroom (if you have it ready)

1. Cut the apples with the core into large pieces.
2. Mix water with honey.
3. Put the apples in a jar and pour the honey water over them.
4. Cover the jar with cheesecloth and put it in a cool, dark place. The next day, bubbles will begin to form.
5. The fermentation process lasts 1-2 weeks. During this time, you need to turn the apples to let the gas escape.
6. After gas formation stops, strain the contents of the jar – apple brew.
7. Pour it into a clean jar, cover it with cheesecloth, and put it in a cool, dark place.
8. Leave for 3-6 weeks.
9. After 3 weeks, you can start tasting it.
