Apple cider vinegar, now often referred to as simply ACV, is known for its many health benefits and is used in hundreds of home remedies. If you have lots of apples left over (a common scenario in the late Autumn), why don’t you make some yourself? Our friends at 17Apart will teach you how to do it. It’s way cheaper than having to buy the expensive ACVs that are sold in your grocery store.

In order to make the vinegar, you have to give it some time to ferment. During the process of fermentation, the sugar in the apple is broken down by bacteria and yeast to turn it into alcohol and then into vinegar. Don’t be alarmed if it looks a bit cloudy, because that’s the work of the “mother”…

You can make this vinegar ahead of time and store them in fancy jars so you can give them out to your friends as presents or as give-aways for parties. It can be used for many recipes! You can even make a vinaigarette out of the apple cider vinegar – and give away both the vinegar and the vinaigrette as a set.

Here’s a simple recipe for the vinaigrette: Mix 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsps. seeded Dijon mustard, 1/2 tbsp curry powder, 1/2 cup finely chopped chives and the juice of 1/2 lemon. While you’re whisking with a fork, slowly add 3/4 cup of extra virgin olve oil to emulsify the mixture. You can double the recipe if you decide to make a bigger batch.

SAFETY NOTE: In 17Apart’s original tutorial, it states that if there is a little mold, it is ok. However, other sources state that it is not safe. Therefore we will have to go with the safer sounding option. If you get mold, start again. To reduce the risk of mold, sterilize the glassware before commencing. Boiling the jars for 15 mins before beginning is suggested by one commenter and this seems prudent.

Here are just some of the health benefits [1] that have been reported from scientific studies on apple cider vinegar:

1. Diabetes – A study was conducted in 2007 and the results showed that patients who have Type 2 diabetes had significant changes in their blood sugar levels. [1]

2. Weight Loss – Obese people who consumed acetic acid daily for a period of 12 weeks experienced significant weight loss. [1]

3. Dandruff – An apple cider vinegar solution helps restore the pH balance of the scalp. The acid prevents the overgrowth of the yeast-like fungus that triggers dandruff. [1]

Enjoy the benefits of this humble vinegar. It’s honestly very easy to make. Try it at home by following the recipe below!

How To: Make Apple Vinegar From Scratch

When you go out and pick two bushels of apples you better have a plan for using them up — especially in a timely manner!

Lets recap: first we shared our homemade natural dog treat recipe, then we showed you our process in making fruit leather; both of which made for a lot of leftover apple peels and cores, so we decided to try our hand at making our own apple vinegar.

: How to make your own Apple Cider Vinegar 3.png (539.9 KiB) Viewed 10823 times

This all came about while gathering inspiration over on A Sonoma Garden for making our own natural fruit roll-ups — we stumbled across this additional how-to on how to make your own apple vinegar using 3 basic ingredients and a dash of patience, ha. We followed this tutorial word for word and are now well into the process of making our very own apple vinegar. The steps were really quite simple and again, this is a recipe that requires little to no measuring — the amount of apples used really isn't important.

: How to make your own Apple Cider Vinegar 4.png (578.78 KiB) Viewed 10823 times

We first we collected the leftover peels and cores and put them in shallow pie dishes, then added enough water to cover the scraps by about an inch or two. We added 1/4 cup sugar to each and placed a plate on top of the mixture with a smaller bowl on top of the plate to weight it down and keep the scraps submerged. Next, we covered the bowls with a tea towel and let sit for one full week — this allowed for the beginning stages of fermentation.

: How to make your own Apple Cider Vinegar 5.png (584.38 KiB) Viewed 10823 times

After one full week, we checked our apple mixture which had considerably darkened in color and formed a little mold on the liquid's surface — which is OK. We spooned off any surface mold, then drained the liquid and peels through a sieve into a large measuring pourer. We transferred this liquid into a jar, covered the rim with cheese cloth and tightly closed the lid (the cheese cloth allows the vinegar to breath and helps avoid any metal corrosion). It now will just need to sit for 6 weeks until we have vinegar!

We also found 4 smaller jars which turned out to be the perfect size to have on hand for gifts over the holidays. Mary is already brainstorming ways she can spice these up a little with seasonal labels when they are ready.

While vinegar isn't typically expensive and we rarely use much in a year's time, we were thrilled to use up the scraps from our orchard trip, learn something new and we'll feel too cool for school pulling the jar out right around Thanksgiving time. I'm thinking our homemade apple vinegar will be perfect for pouring on some fresh collards with chopped onion.

What are your favorite uses for vinegar? Let us know if you try it!

Add equal parts vinegar and honey(I do a half inch of each to a quart jar) fill jar with water. Can drink hot or cold. If doing cold...use a small amount of warm water first to dissolve the honey. Adjust amount of water to taste.

I use ACV in baking veggies alot. The best is sliced beets baked in ACV and coconut oil. So yummy!!! Growing up I would also put ACV on my boiled potatoes to flavor them when I was on a diet and avoiding butter.

My great grandmother lived a rather active life until she was 90 and ACV and honey were her two biggest fail safes for health.

ACV is good for my coffee. I have hard water and I put a few drops in the water when I make coffee. It brings out the flavor and makes the coffee smell good. I have an old Texas Pete bottle with the little hole. Fill it using a filler. I use it to clean with if I don't have the distilled. I put it in stir-fry. It will tenderize meat. When you use it in cooking, the vinegar smell usually leaves it. I cannot be without it.

Lisa, ACV is also great for your horses because it dissolves stomach stones. I use it mostly to clean with because it's non toxic, kills bacteria and acidic enough to dissolve tough spots on the parrots cage trays. I also add it to the chickens water one week a month then I add molasses one week a month. We go through about 3 gallons of ACV a month. Coffee maker, dish washer, laundry..... you name it!

I've been so afraid of making my own apple cider vinegar (botch, etc). I would love to make my own. I take it daily to reduce my acid reflux/heartburn. I am quite happy to say that since I started taking the apple cider vinegar, I no longer take those daily pills. Who knew? At first I would get headaches, then I read it was from the vinegar flushing out the toxins and it was too much vinegar for a beginner. I now drink water with the vinegar several times a day.

The cheese cloth will filter the mother so be your own judge. I would test it and see what happens. The mother is what makes it work for medicinal purposes. I take it too. Remember when you cook with it, that you don't have the good stuff like you do taking it in daily doses.

To dress up mason jars for the holidays, I recommend getting holiday print fabric and then use a roller cutter and a saucer (or any small plate, about 5" (12cm) diameter) for a template to cut out circles of fabric. Then place the cloth on top of the jar and screw it down with the band. This will only work with 2 piece tops, of course.

It's a good acne treatment too.

Dilute the Apple Cider Vinegar in water by one part of vinegar and 3 to 4 parts of water.
Apply the solution directly to your skin with clean cotton, and leave it there for about ten minutes.
After ten minutes, rinse off the vinegar.
Repeat this three times a day. For severe cases of acne, the solution can be used overnight without rinsing.

For more severe acne, the water ratio can also be reduced to 2 or 3 parts per one part of vinegar, but this stronger solution should not be left on overnight.
I'm trying this overnight at the moment(with added Tea tree oil) and it seems to be working better than the harsh gel from my dermatologist

I brush my teeth with it and baking soda. I have a bag of cow feed baking soda from the feed store, which does not clump and is grainier, that I scrub sink, toilet and bath tub with, then pour vinegar on. I use it on my hair, for scratches from kitty, on my face with baking soda to treat oily skin. I put it on a lot of food. (Fill Cholula bottles with it, pouring the vinegar in a squirt plastic mustard container.) Vinegar keeps ants off your counter tops. Vinegar and paper towels quickly cleans floors, with or without a little soda. I mix honey, vinegar, a drop of peppermint oil for salad dressing. (Put broccali tops in a quarter inch of this salad dressing, and leave it out for snacks.)

Apple vinegar (never white) is also great for your hair. It balances the ph of the skin, is antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiseptic.

It's the best thing to use if you have dandruff. It will get rid of excess oil, unplug hair follicles and get rid of any build up on your hair leaving it super soft.

I have a lot of grey hair and it keeps the hair white and soft.

I take 1 cup of apple vinegar to 2 cups of water, pour all over making sure to rub it into the scalp and then let sit for 10-15 minutes, shampoo and condition as normal.

If you have really bad dandruff use it every day till the dandruff goes away and then you can probably cut back to doing the treatment a couple times a week.

How does is work by simply soaking apple scraps? Traditionally, you press the apples, and ferment that. First you get hard cider, then what is left from that continues until it is ACV. I cna't imagine that just soaking the apples would give you anywhere near the same strength.

I can testify this method works, I followed these instructions a year ago. I expect by adding the sugar you are fermenting/growing something. After only a few days it is smelling and is much darker, quite amazing from a few scraps. Once you bottle it up it continues to mature without the scraps. Some of my jars worked better than others so i mixed them all up together. You have to be very careful of metal lid corrosion and fruit flies.

I suggest 2 teaspoons of ACV mixed with 2 teaspoons of honey. Mix together in a glass, then fill with water and stir. Have at each meal, sipping it throughout the meal as you would coffee. The acidity puts the body into a healthy place not allowing bad bacteria to grow.

After you let it sit out with the plate and bowl on it and you strain just the liquid into jars you put lids on- you say to use cheese cloth then a lid since the cheese cloth prevents corrosion. Can I just just a plastic lid or no? I have been buying the Ball brand plastic lids for my canning jars. I dont have any cheese cloth on hand and dont feel like going and getting some but would love to make this if I could close it with a plastic lids.

Can I still use this? What am I doing wrong that this is continuing to happen? I strained it twice, and have material on the jar before I put on the metal lid and ring.

After you strain and jar the liquid do you refrigerate it? Do you open the jars daily if it continues to ferment?

A cup of OJ, honey and ACV. Everyday for 4 months and I've lost 33 pounds.

I usually read blogs, but don't participate in them, I have used vinegar for cleaning and I use Braggs vinegar and honey drink and find it refreshing and it gives me energy. But WOW!, I didn't know there were so many other uses for vinegar. I am going to try and make some of that home made vinegar!! Here's another use for Braggs or other organic, non filtered APV. Use as an eye wash or eye drops. Braggs measurements are 1/3 teaspoon to 4 ounces of sterile water. If it stings a little bit at first you might want to delute it a bit more. I have used it for over a year and when I got my eyes checked the Dr said my eyes have improved and my new perscription was not as strong as before. love your site. :-)

We use lots of apple vinegar in Adobo Chicken, a yummy and simple Phillipine dish.

This is great, thank you for posting! We use Apple Cider Vinegar in our tea to help get rid of colds. Do you know if the "Mother" forms on the bottom with this method - just like you would find in organic ACV?

Are you sure it's ok to use the apple seeds? They are poisonous, they have natural arsenic.

Hi! This is very interesting, I'm definitely doing to try it. I would love to see an update as to how it finally turned out (from what I understand, when you wrote the post it wasn't ready yet). Did it work?
