Hi Sweet Friends, Today I'm sharing how to make Citrus Vinegar 3 ways. Do you like making citrus vinegar? Or is this something new to you? If you do make it homemade, what do you like using it for. I love learning from others!! Love, Mary
I just came upon your channel & have subscribed & followed. I love your content & your peaceful approach. If I want to use this in cleaning, it will have the citrus cent & a much more diluted vinegar odor? I really like to clean with vinegar, but my family hates the odor. Also, for flavoring, it taste citrus & not so strongly vinegar? Thank you & have a great weekend.
Hello I've come to the 30days or so mark and my pH strip is 4 and I was wounding how can I get it to 2.5, I did make a big batch in an old 5litre tub, shall I keep allowing it to ferment and replace the citrus peels with new one or keep adding more sugar?
This is new to me. I made this w distilled white vinegar & orange peels..but the solution turned out sticky. I let it sit for 30 days & added a little water & dawn dish soap to the decanter. Not sure what happened here...too sticky to use for cleaning.
It blows my mind how often when I search for a very specific and unusual recipe I always get suggested your videos. It's like there is no video you haven't made about the different, more traditional ways, of transforming produces to reduce food waste. In your kitchen nothing gets wasted, everything is used. 🙏 Rockstar
Mary, I make vinegar from many things. The one I like the best is juniper. You use the juniper needles instead of fruit. Leave it in the bottle with some sugar and in 30 day you have a wonderful "outdoorsey" smelling vinegar
Hi Kate, Oh my goodness!! I am so glad you reminded me about that. I have heard a lot about making vinegar from Junipers and our property is covered with them!! I need to put some of those juniper needles to good use!! And I use the berries too in cooking - like for when making Sauerbraten. So glad you're here!! You have wonderful ideas to share!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Hi Mary, I have one juniper and I brought it to this property from my former home in the city. I knew one could cook with Juniper berries, but have never investigated them. So far I really love the scent of the juniper vinegar. It leaves a lovely aroma after the vinegar scent dissipates. I am totally enjoying this "collaboration" we seem to be generating. Cheers!
@@insidekateskitchen - Hi Kate, Wow!! I just saw this comment. SO sorry. They sometimes get lost in my YT comments page. I am so happy you are liking these homemade vinegars. I think they are just wonderful. And juniper is so wonderful!! Love, Mary
This was so helpful and your instructions were presented with ease. I love your channel. What a blessing it has been to find you. Shalom and Blessings. Please keep sharing ways families can make things frugally from things already in the home. Especially now with supply shortages or shipping delays.🌺
Thank you Mary I just made your second kind. I had 4 oranges, 1 lemon and 1 lime that was all getting old. I enjoyed making fermented foods so this was something I wanted to try. I hope to share it with my children.
I use citrus vinegars! To spray on the hard water deposits, on facets and glass shower door. Also in my chicken coop and goat pen! Very useful! Also!!! To deodorize containers.
Thanks for the informative video, Mary. I also watched your video for apple vinegar and I happen to have some apples that won’t get wasted this time. For the orange vinegar, I happen to have a couple of trees that produce beautiful oranges, but they’re not edible. My trees froze one cold winter and sprouted up below the graft. Now they produce an orange filled with seeds and very little pulp. I can’t wait to see if they’ll make a good orange vinegar. Thanks for the tip about about adding a second quarter cup of sugar for a second ferment.
A lovely recipe for the peels Mary. All the wonderful oils they contain and so many uses. And to think all these years I have put them in the bin. Oh Mary you have solved my problem after months trying to find out about the jars and you have solved it for me, yes Fido jars!!! Perhaps more air tight than other jars. I appreciate you knowledge Mary. So thank you . Love from Patricia xxx
Oh Patricia, You are just such a sweetheart!! Always so kind and so sweet! Your comments are always a delight to read. I am SO happy I was able to help!! Love, Mary
Hello Mary, I already saw this before and forgot. Now I feel bad because our lemon tree was producing a lot and we used the fruits and I just throw the peels.😢 😢 I'll make sure to remember next time. I'll be straining my apple cider vinegar today after 15 days coz it's already very vinegary since it's very hot here in Barcelona. Thank you❤❤❤
When I started lacto fermenting I would always save the peels and put them in a jar with salt and water and let them ferment that way. Now I have a new way to use them by making myself some vinegar.
Hi Mary, great video tutorial on making citrus vinegar. We like to make hot pepper vinegar with homegrown peppers. How about half fresh hot peppers and half citrus with the white vinegar method. Would produce an interesting flavor profile!
For anyone still curious… glazed ceramic is fine (as the glaze is actually glass) other ceramics depend on its porosity and if it has been used before, for what, and if its porous do you want to use it for something else in the future. ( for example: porcelain must absorb less than 0.5% water in order to be classified as such). Asians traditionally used ceramic pots (and writing this I just realized all these asian jars Id purchased at pic n save in the early 90’s were vinegar pots…..oh how I wish I had them now darnit). So long answer short…most of the time. If you send me a message I can try to help with something specific
Hi, I made the apple cider vinegar, and it was brilliant. So I have had a go at orange vinegarbut it doesn't seem to be bubbling the same. Is it still working? Love your videos.❤❤
I do citrus vinegar for christmas, mix chopped fruit from lemon, lime, orange, mandariners, grapefrukt etc and add white vinegar, it takes flavour faster, and is so fantastic to use on christmas salads.
doggone it, Mary! Why must you lure me in so effectively? I couldn't even make it past the title screen without subscribing! all that stuff AND "celebrate thrifting"?! You know the way to my heart :)
Hi Mary, I have a large amount of lemon pulp I saved from juicing seasonal lemons. Would that pulp work to make vinegar with the same as the skins or whole fruits? I made your pine needle vinegar in 1/2 gallon size last month and it turned out great. Now I'm about to make it again, this time in a 5 gallon bucket with lemon peels, also saved from juicing lemons. Thanks kindly : )
Hi! Mary, thank you for the wonderful teaching videos. I tried to make some vinegar with strawberries that had been in fridge to long to do anything else with, 4 days went by, they began to bubble over😊i threw them away, did I do wrong?
Thanks Mary.I love your vedio. You explain much more things when you doing this. And other thing you recomend others vedio too.like Hedi.Thats very nice quality in person. Thanks have a nice day .I am from sir lanka.
So very happy to find your recipe which is just what I wanted as I kept wondering why vinegar could not be made with citrus fruits especially since it’s in season in Delhi my part of the world. We call it KINOO. Thank you so much for sharing I was wondering if I could add cinnamon ginger garlic for health reasons prior or post to the mix of ingredients? Orange and cinnamon would be really a great flavour.
Hi Mary! I love your fruit vinegar series so much! I just made your second recipe using whole tangerines that were about to go bad. I just realized that I'm going on a trip from the 14th-19th. We live in a cold place, so I'm guessing the fermentation won't be as fast as in Texas, but I won't be around to stir the vinegar. Do you think it's still worth keeping the jars?
Hello mary, what will happen if i have so much pulp from the orange, the water is turning orange.. cause i forgot to only use peels, as i have used the peel with leftover pulps from juicing
Hi Christiane, Unfortunately those don't work because making vinegar is an "aerobic" fermentation - not an "anaerobic" fermentation so you want to allow oxygen to be part of the fermentation process. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest WRONG, WRONG, Wrong!!!!!!! You MUST have ALCOHOL to create Acetic Acid (vinegar)!! You NEVER use the word alcohol in any of your videos which tells me one thing.......try learning the process BEFORE you act like an expert on the subject.
Hi sweet Mary, Wow this is new to me! I live in Spain, all our oranges are finished now ( I made lots of marmalade for my hobby ) but now we have the biggest lemon harvest I have ever seen in Spain. After seeing this I should be able to make vinegar with them! I have been looking for recipes with lemons, so now I have lots of lemon curd and lemon and ginger marmalade ( your recipe ) Yummy stuff! Yes I will visit Heidi and Alicia. Thank you!

@@MarysNest l just want to clean everything with orange vinegar, and smell the freshness when l open my door, can you show me, if thats possible, without getting doors and furniture sticky with residue, thanks Mary
Oi Geraldine ..não precisa ..depois de 30 dias você coa e descarta as frutas e guarda o líquido numa garrafa de vidro esterilizado, tapa e guarda num lugar seco❤
I too have white film on top of my orange peel vinegar is this normal. Or has it gone bad about 2 1/2 weeks into process I have stirred it every day. Please reply
Very nice Mary-so nice to use everything. when I saw your ferments on your counter.. I thought you must keep them there so you don't forget about them....... Like I do LOL .Your kitchen is a very nice cozy working kitchen.. Thanks for sharing.
Green Rage - Thank you so much for the kind words about my kitchen...yes… It is a working kitchen. And you are right… I usually keep my homemade vinegars in the making and my ferments around the kitchen so that I don’t lose track of them! I’m glad you think everything looks cozy. Thank you!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Since store bought vinegar is being used to scent in the third one, could that be used in canning? You know the bit of vinegar put in the canning water to keep the glass jars clear? Well my son hates the smell (I don't even smell it), I wonder if I scent the vinegar if it would change anything for him. Hmm, I know just the orange ...

I am sure one can the same way. May end up ideal without sugar but white vinegar added instead. Perhaps will make a great cleaner. So why add sugar? I am sure it will work both ways.
Hi Mary. I started my lemon and also strawberry vinegars after watching your video's. I started it on August 3, and I check the ph today. It looks like the ph (I am having difficulty reading because the color is not one that is on the side of the container. Do I leave them longer, do I need to ad sugar, or what? Can you give me some advice please? Thanks, Vicki
I have made the ACV but never orange, since cost on citrus fruit is low, now is a good time to try it. Could you maybe do a video on showing the many uses you have for it, blessings
I know this is an old comment but yes you can. But cut them into 4ths and eighths. I use lemons that start to feel dry and hard so be careful cutting them. They’re harder to cut like that
My grapefruit vinegar turned a deep red, it's clear, but doesn't smell like vinegar. There is a lot of kahm yeast which I just kept stirring in. Should I start over. I have two others that I started a week later. One is starting to turn red and both have a lot of kahm yeast on top.
Hello Mary. I came over from This and That with Denise Jordan. Your channel is so interesting! As a little girl I always wanted to live in Walnut Grove, Minnesota and your channel is the closest I've seen to that dream... LOL. I wondered if alcohol would result if you somehow stop this fermentation process call but I see you already answered that question in the comments.
Hi Nell, Thanks so much for visiting!! Yes, you are 100% correct. In about a week or two, the vinegar "in the making" will smell like alcohol - very beer like! How about that!! I'll be if you reftigerated it at that point so slow down the fermentation, you would have a mildly flavored homemade drink - wine like maybe? - that would be slightly alcoholic. I am thrilled to here that you like old-fashioned cooking. I like to show folks what traditional cooking really is - bone broth, ferments, sourdough, etc. Packaged yeast wasn't even sold back in their day LOL!!

Do you know what the nutritional numbers are for this? Im on a keto diet and need to keep sugars very low. Very interesting. Just found your channel today and appreciate all the tips.
Sally Semrau - Hi Sally, So glad you like the tips!! Not sure what nutritional value is but I would think it would be close to apple cider vinegar. Hope that helps. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
@@MarysNest wellcome. I'm on a keto diet too... so citrua is some of the fruits i can eat in moderation... other fruit vinegars could have more carbs on them though
mvelenagarcia - that’s great!! Be sure to give these a try. I think you’ll find they are very easy to make. Are there any other videos you would like to see me make? Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

Hello Mary. Thank you for your videos. I would like to check something with you, and it is the use of citrus fruits for the purpose of making vinegar. Unless they are organic, do you think they should be used? I have researched this a little bit, and the citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines and lemons are laden with pesticides, some of which can be very dangerous when taken in big quantities. I am a bot wary about making vinegar out of peels or oranges. I guess they could be used for cleaning and such, but I just keep imagining pesticides being smudged all over the household surfaces... :D
Hi Strahinja, I understand your concerns completely. If you can find and afford organic - yes go with that. If not, then I recommend giving the peels a good scrub with a vinegar and baking soda paste and then a good rinse. This won't get rid of all the pesticides but it will reduce them. But yes, I agree with you. When something is too concentrated, it can be a concern so best to avoid. BTW - so happy to see you in the FB group! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Thanks for answering Mary. :) I usually compost the bio-waste, but if something is laden with pesticides, then it shouldn't go to compost either... Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully, that yeast will decide to just drop it soon... :)
Strahinja Maćešić - Yes, I agree. And as to the yeast...yes, I hope it will stop growing. It can be tough once it starts but the good news is that it’s not mold! Keep us all posted. Glad you’re here. 🤗
I followed tour recipe with diced fruit with peels. Did two. Lemons and Tangeras (Orange/Tangerine hybrid). 4litre jars. (almost a gallon). Put in 1/4 cup sugar. No bubbling / fermentation. Next day added another 1/4 cup sugar. Still no buubles / fermentation. What is wrong?
Great question. I generally use these for cleaning But I think it’s the peels were well washed and/or organic, it would be fine to use as a vinegar for salad dressings, etc. For food I generally use my Apple cider vinegar or my strawberry scrap vinegar. Have you seen those videos? ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U2M3dRA483q5KJ7JkJfn3fS Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Great question. You really don’t need very much. Making vinegar through the acetobacter process doesn’t require adding the mother back in. But you want do it to give it a good kick start...Depending on the size jar you’re using… If it’s a big half-gallon jar… You could add in about a cup of your prior vinegar. Keep me posted on how it all turns out. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

Hi Marry, thanks for the great video. I am trying out the vinger with whole fruit version. it's been a little over one month now and it smells very nice but has a little bitter taste do you think that's okay? .
Hi Dan, Thanks for visiting and filling me in. When you say bitter taste...do you mean tangy like vinegar? If so, you are on the right path. How does it smell? Like vinegar? Have you seen the playlist where I walk you through the entire 30 day process? Here’s the link: ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U3apQRTzhfQBkR_x0rb514U Keep me posted. Love, Mary🤗
Great question. It's really not necessary. After the first 2 additions the good bacteria has plenty to eat to do its job. And adding more, may extend the process to give the good bacteria time to eat the additional sugar so that you have vinegar and not sweetened liquid. Love, Mary
Hi Sweet Friends, Today I'm sharing how to make Citrus Vinegar 3 ways. Do you like making citrus vinegar? Or is this something new to you? If you do make it homemade, what do you like using it for. I love learning from others!! Love, Mary
hai maam , Good day can i ask ? how to make more acedic the fermented fruit that u made?
This is new to me. I’m fermenting grapefruit peels and mandarin orange peels
I just came upon your channel & have subscribed & followed. I love your content & your peaceful approach.
If I want to use this in cleaning, it will have the citrus cent & a much more diluted vinegar odor? I really like to clean with vinegar, but my family hates the odor.
Also, for flavoring, it taste citrus & not so strongly vinegar?
Thank you & have a great weekend.
Hello I've come to the 30days or so mark and my pH strip is 4 and I was wounding how can I get it to 2.5, I did make a big batch in an old 5litre tub, shall I keep allowing it to ferment and replace the citrus peels with new one or keep adding more sugar?
This is new to me. I made this w distilled white vinegar & orange peels..but the solution turned out sticky. I let it sit for 30 days & added a little water & dawn dish soap to the decanter. Not sure what happened here...too sticky to use for cleaning.
It blows my mind how often when I search for a very specific and unusual recipe I always get suggested your videos. It's like there is no video you haven't made about the different, more traditional ways, of transforming produces to reduce food waste. In your kitchen nothing gets wasted, everything is used. 🙏 Rockstar
Mary, I make vinegar from many things. The one I like the best is juniper. You use the juniper needles instead of fruit. Leave it in the bottle with some sugar and in 30 day you have a wonderful "outdoorsey" smelling vinegar
Hi Kate, Oh my goodness!! I am so glad you reminded me about that. I have heard a lot about making vinegar from Junipers and our property is covered with them!! I need to put some of those juniper needles to good use!! And I use the berries too in cooking - like for when making Sauerbraten. So glad you're here!! You have wonderful ideas to share!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Hi Mary, I have one juniper and I brought it to this property from my former home in the city. I knew one could cook with Juniper berries, but have never investigated them. So far I really love the scent of the juniper vinegar. It leaves a lovely aroma after the vinegar scent dissipates. I am totally enjoying this "collaboration" we seem to be generating. Cheers!
@@insidekateskitchen - Hi Kate, Wow!! I just saw this comment. SO sorry. They sometimes get lost in my YT comments page. I am so happy you are liking these homemade vinegars. I think they are just wonderful. And juniper is so wonderful!! Love, Mary
What do you use juniper vinegar for?
@@laurachastain7116 use it to clean or I make room spray. It's especially nice for a mattress and furniture freshener. I add more essential oils
This was so helpful and your instructions were presented with ease. I love your channel. What a blessing it has been to find you. Shalom and Blessings. Please keep sharing ways families can make things frugally from things already in the home. Especially now with supply shortages or shipping delays.🌺
Ooh I just bought a bag of oranges. I’ll have everyone save the peels when they eat them so I can do this. 😊💖
Catherine's Plate - I’m so happy you like this idea!! Let me know if you have any questions!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Can you use a plastic container to ferment the oranges? I have many large plastic containers around but nothing in glass. Thanks
Coffee filter....a great idea!
Thank you Mary I just made your second kind. I had 4 oranges, 1 lemon and 1 lime that was all getting old. I enjoyed making fermented foods so this was something I wanted to try. I hope to share it with my children.
I use citrus vinegars! To spray on the hard water deposits, on facets and glass shower door. Also in my chicken coop and goat pen! Very useful! Also!!! To deodorize containers.
Hi Inez, All fantastic uses!! Thanks for sharing!! So glad you're here!! Love, Mary
Thanks for the informative video, Mary. I also watched your video for apple vinegar and I happen to have some apples that won’t get wasted this time. For the orange vinegar, I happen to have a couple of trees that produce beautiful oranges, but they’re not edible. My trees froze one cold winter and sprouted up below the graft. Now they produce an orange filled with seeds and very little pulp. I can’t wait to see if they’ll make a good orange vinegar. Thanks for the tip about about adding a second quarter cup of sugar for a second ferment.
A lovely recipe for the peels Mary. All the wonderful oils they contain and so many uses. And to think all these years I have put them in the bin.
Oh Mary you have solved my problem after months trying to find out about the jars and you have solved it for me, yes Fido jars!!! Perhaps more air tight than other jars. I appreciate you knowledge Mary. So thank you .
Love from Patricia xxx
Oh Patricia, You are just such a sweetheart!! Always so kind and so sweet! Your comments are always a delight to read. I am SO happy I was able to help!! Love, Mary
Hello Mary, I already saw this before and forgot. Now I feel bad because our lemon tree was producing a lot and we used the fruits and I just throw the peels.😢 😢 I'll make sure to remember next time. I'll be straining my apple cider vinegar today after 15 days coz it's already very vinegary since it's very hot here in Barcelona. Thank you❤❤❤
When I started lacto fermenting I would always save the peels and put them in a jar with salt and water and let them ferment that way. Now I have a new way to use them by making myself some vinegar.
Hi Mary, great video tutorial on making citrus vinegar. We like to make hot pepper vinegar with homegrown peppers. How about half fresh hot peppers and half citrus with the white vinegar method. Would produce an interesting flavor profile!
I did the third recipe. Let it sit for 4 or 5 months. Boy is it dark and strong. Is it safe to use on my food. ????
Hi Mary i love this way of a simple Life, im fascinated
Hi Mary!! Loving the videos. Question: Can I use a pot (such as ceramic) to ferment? Or does the container have to be glass?
For anyone still curious… glazed ceramic is fine (as the glaze is actually glass) other ceramics depend on its porosity and if it has been used before, for what, and if its porous do you want to use it for something else in the future. ( for example: porcelain must absorb less than 0.5% water in order to be classified as such). Asians traditionally used ceramic pots (and writing this I just realized all these asian jars Id purchased at pic n save in the early 90’s were vinegar pots…..oh how I wish I had them now darnit). So long answer short…most of the time. If you send me a message I can try to help with something specific
Hi, I made the apple cider vinegar, and it was brilliant. So I have had a go at orange vinegarbut it doesn't seem to be bubbling the same. Is it still working? Love your videos.❤❤
I do citrus vinegar for christmas, mix chopped fruit from lemon, lime, orange, mandariners, grapefrukt etc and add white vinegar, it takes flavour faster, and is so fantastic to use on christmas salads.
Very lovely and well put together ❣️ RIP DIANA AND ALAN ❤❤
doggone it, Mary! Why must you lure me in so effectively? I couldn't even make it past the title screen without subscribing! all that stuff AND "celebrate thrifting"?! You know the way to my heart :)
Can we use orange peels and vinegar for facial cleanser after diluted it with water???
Love to make my vinegar for cleaning but needed your tip about the pH strips. Thank you so much!
Joy Louise - Hi Joy, So happy you like making vinegar...and yes, those strips can be so helpful to be sure. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Is it possible to make vinegar of any kind of fruit in this way ?
NO.......This method is a waste of your time.
I love how simple you explain things maybe it's just me but I love simple
Do you think this will work with air dried peels?
I saved a bunch but not in the fridge
Definitely. 🤗
I loved watching the video. Definitely I will be working on my homemade vinegar.
Hi Mary, I have a large amount of lemon pulp I saved from juicing seasonal lemons. Would that pulp work to make vinegar with the same as the skins or whole fruits? I made your pine needle vinegar in 1/2 gallon size last month and it turned out great. Now I'm about to make it again, this time in a 5 gallon bucket with lemon peels, also saved from juicing lemons. Thanks kindly : )
Hi! Mary, thank you for the wonderful teaching videos. I tried to make some vinegar with strawberries that had been in fridge to long to do anything else with, 4 days went by, they began to bubble over😊i threw them away, did I do wrong?
Is it safe to drink orange vinegar if I dilute it with water?
Thanks Mary.I love your vedio. You explain much more things when you doing this. And other thing you recomend others vedio too.like Hedi.Thats very nice quality in person. Thanks have a nice day .I am from sir lanka.
Can you do a video on making vinegar using dried fruits? thanks!
I was making the citrus vinager ,and started to get mold on the fruit, how can I fix that issue? Or I have start all over again
I use lemons each day in some baking soda water. Can I use the lemons from that?
Definitely! :-)
Hi Mary, what is this used for? Cape Town South Africa
Can use plastic bottles to make citrus vinegar please reply.
Yes, just make sure it’s food safe plastic. 🤗
So very happy to find your recipe which is just what I wanted as I kept wondering why vinegar could not be made with citrus fruits especially since it’s in season in Delhi my part of the world. We call it KINOO. Thank you so much for sharing I was wondering if I could add cinnamon ginger garlic for health reasons prior or post to the mix of ingredients? Orange and cinnamon would be really a great flavour.
Janab....kia ap ny Vinegar ki try ki hy?
Mujhu info chahiay
Does the vinegar have an "expiration" or does it have a long shelf life?
Hi Michele, The good news is that this will last forever! Love, Mary
Hi Mary! I love your fruit vinegar series so much! I just made your second recipe using whole tangerines that were about to go bad. I just realized that I'm going on a trip from the 14th-19th. We live in a cold place, so I'm guessing the fermentation won't be as fast as in Texas, but I won't be around to stir the vinegar. Do you think it's still worth keeping the jars?
Hello mary, what will happen if i have so much pulp from the orange, the water is turning orange.. cause i forgot to only use peels, as i have used the peel with leftover pulps from juicing
Could you use fermentation caps instead of coffee filters? (The ones that allow C02 to escape.)
Hi Christiane, Unfortunately those don't work because making vinegar is an "aerobic" fermentation - not an "anaerobic" fermentation so you want to allow oxygen to be part of the fermentation process. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest WRONG, WRONG, Wrong!!!!!!! You MUST have ALCOHOL to create Acetic Acid (vinegar)!! You NEVER use the word alcohol in any of your videos which tells me one thing.......try learning the process BEFORE you act like an expert on the subject.
You are just so sweet and wholesome
Hi sweet Mary, Wow this is new to me! I live in Spain, all our oranges are finished now ( I made lots of marmalade for my hobby ) but now we have the biggest lemon harvest I have ever seen in Spain. After seeing this I should be able to make vinegar with them! I have been looking for recipes with lemons, so now I have lots of lemon curd and lemon and ginger marmalade ( your recipe ) Yummy stuff! Yes I will visit Heidi and Alicia. Thank you!

Por favor, apos 30 dias fermentando, deve-se coar as frutas e continuar com mais 30 dias para se fazer o vinagre de citricos? Grata
Hi Geraldine, Thanks so much for your comment. Sorry I can't help. Love, Mary

Oi Geraldine ..não precisa ..depois de 30 dias você coa e descarta as frutas e guarda o líquido numa garrafa de vidro esterilizado, tapa e guarda num lugar seco❤
Once you make homemade vinegar how long does it last? I have some that's about 3 yrs old.
I too have white film on top of my orange peel vinegar is this normal. Or has it gone bad about 2 1/2 weeks into process I have stirred it every day. Please reply
Very nice Mary-so nice to use everything. when I saw your ferments on your counter.. I thought you must keep them there so you don't forget about them....... Like I do LOL .Your kitchen is a very nice cozy working kitchen.. Thanks for sharing.
Green Rage - Thank you so much for the kind words about my kitchen...yes… It is a working kitchen.

Can I put ginger and/or turmeric in with the apples to make a combination vinegar?
Since store bought vinegar is being used to scent in the third one, could that be used in canning? You know the bit of vinegar put in the canning water to keep the glass jars clear? Well my son hates the smell (I don't even smell it), I wonder if I scent the vinegar if it would change anything for him. Hmm, I know just the orange ...
Do you need to refridgerate the vinegar after it is processed for 30 days?

Question? And preparation. Should the jar be sterilized?
Wonderful video can I ask, can you do this with lemon peels? X
I am sure one can the same way. May end up ideal without sugar but white vinegar added instead. Perhaps will make a great cleaner. So why add sugar? I am sure it will work both ways.
"the insurance policy" lol, yes!
Hi Mary. I started my lemon and also strawberry vinegars after watching your video's. I started it on August 3, and I check the ph today. It looks like the ph (I am having difficulty reading because the color is not one that is on the side of the container. Do I leave them longer, do I need to ad sugar, or what? Can you give me some advice please? Thanks, Vicki
If you have the mother, it is so easy to do ;) I did it 😀 it just takes time
Can I use lemons?
I have made the ACV but never orange, since cost on citrus fruit is low, now is a good time to try it. Could you maybe do a video on showing the many uses you have for it, blessings
TennesseeGirl - Will do!! I will show how I use it for cleaning, drinking, and a hair rinse. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
can you cut up a whole lemon and put it all in the jar? or does it need to be just peels?
I know this is an old comment but yes you can. But cut them into 4ths and eighths. I use lemons that start to feel dry and hard so be careful cutting them. They’re harder to cut like that
So you only add sugar once more during the 30 days? I thought in the strawberry vid you said to add every couple of days. Thanks much
Great question. Stir every day - twice per day but only add sugar one more time after about 5 days. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
Mary, what do I do with the "Mother" after decanting?
Can I use a plastic Jar?
Definitely :-) as long as it is food safe. Love, Mary
My grapefruit vinegar turned a deep red, it's clear, but doesn't smell like vinegar. There is a lot of kahm yeast which I just kept stirring in. Should I start over. I have two others that I started a week later. One is starting to turn red and both have a lot of kahm yeast on top.
Hello Mary. I came over from This and That with Denise Jordan. Your channel is so interesting! As a little girl I always wanted to live in Walnut Grove, Minnesota and your channel is the closest I've seen to that dream... LOL. I wondered if alcohol would result if you somehow stop this fermentation process call but I see you already answered that question in the comments.
Hi Nell, Thanks so much for visiting!! Yes, you are 100% correct. In about a week or two, the vinegar "in the making" will smell like alcohol - very beer like! How about that!! I'll be if you reftigerated it at that point so slow down the fermentation, you would have a mildly flavored homemade drink - wine like maybe? - that would be slightly alcoholic. I am thrilled to here that you like old-fashioned cooking. I like to show folks what traditional cooking really is - bone broth, ferments, sourdough, etc. Packaged yeast wasn't even sold back in their day LOL!! If you enjoy this sort of thing, I have a playlist called "Mastering the Basics". It's a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home.

Could you use the distilled vinegar instead of the sugar and water?
Then you would infuse store bought vinegar. What she makes here is infused vinegar from scratch.
Thank you!
Thanks Mary!!! I love your stuff 😊❤🔥 God bless you
can i make orange vinegar without peel or orange skin?????
Do you know what the nutritional numbers are for this? Im on a keto diet and need to keep sugars very low. Very interesting. Just found your channel today and appreciate all the tips.
Sally Semrau - Hi Sally, So glad you like the tips!! Not sure what nutritional value is but I would think it would be close to apple cider vinegar. Hope that helps. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
And the sugar get eaten by the bacteria.... usually it has the same numbers as acv
@@mvelenagarcia - Thank you SO much. That is a great piece of information!! So glad you're here!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest wellcome. I'm on a keto diet too... so citrua is some of the fruits i can eat in moderation... other fruit vinegars could have more carbs on them though
mvelenagarcia - that’s great!! Be sure to give these a try. I think you’ll find they are very easy to make. Are there any other videos you would like to see me make? Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I am using my Mason Top silicone lid. I hope that's okay! Thank you, Mary!
It needs the air....Silcone will block the air.
Can i leave it more than a month??
I would freeze it.
Can I mix citrus with the "veg" etc, vinegar?
I think that would work. Love, Mary
Would oranges be too acidic for compost pile?
Great question!! You can compost oranges and other citrus but not too many. 🤗
Orange peels don't compost well.
Do u get a scoby from coffee vinegar?
Do I need to rinse the peels?
Do you use filtered water, or can you use tap water?
I generally use filtered water. If you use tap water, leave it over night or boil it and allow it to return to room temp to allow some of the chlorine to dissipate.

@@MarysNest many thanks, I did follow that advice which you gave in making kefir and apple cider vinegar.
Hello Mary.
Thank you for your videos.
I would like to check something with you, and it is the use of citrus fruits for the purpose of making vinegar.
Unless they are organic, do you think they should be used?
I have researched this a little bit, and the citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines and lemons are laden with pesticides, some of which can be very dangerous when taken in big quantities.
I am a bot wary about making vinegar out of peels or oranges.
I guess they could be used for cleaning and such, but I just keep imagining pesticides being smudged all over the household surfaces... :D
Hi Strahinja, I understand your concerns completely. If you can find and afford organic - yes go with that. If not, then I recommend giving the peels a good scrub with a vinegar and baking soda paste and then a good rinse. This won't get rid of all the pesticides but it will reduce them. But yes, I agree with you. When something is too concentrated, it can be a concern so best to avoid. BTW - so happy to see you in the FB group! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Thanks for answering Mary. :)
I usually compost the bio-waste, but if something is laden with pesticides, then it shouldn't go to compost either...
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully, that yeast will decide to just drop it soon... :)
Strahinja Maćešić - Yes, I agree. And as to the yeast...yes, I hope it will stop growing. It can be tough once it starts but the good news is that it’s not mold! Keep us all posted. Glad you’re here. 🤗
Rinsing them off with water is all you need to do!
@@MarysNest You don't want to stop the growth of yeast; you need to encourage the growth of naturally occuring yeasts .
Hi new friend! We just subscribed 👍your kitchen is very cute!😊
Joni & Reye - Hi Sweet Friends!! So glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Can you use brown sugar?
I followed tour recipe with diced fruit with peels. Did two. Lemons and Tangeras (Orange/Tangerine hybrid). 4litre jars. (almost a gallon). Put in 1/4 cup sugar. No bubbling / fermentation. Next day added another 1/4 cup sugar. Still no buubles / fermentation. What is wrong?
Thanks for sharing
Are these vinegars edible?
Great question. I generally use these for cleaning But I think it’s the peels were well washed and/or organic, it would be fine to use as a vinegar for salad dressings, etc. For food I generally use my Apple cider vinegar or my strawberry scrap vinegar. Have you seen those videos? ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U2M3dRA483q5KJ7JkJfn3fS Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
If I wanted to continue the “mother” for future vinegars, how much would I put back in the jar?
Great question. You really don’t need very much. Making vinegar through the acetobacter process doesn’t require adding the mother back in. But you want do it to give it a good kick start...Depending on the size jar you’re using… If it’s a big half-gallon jar… You could add in about a cup of your prior vinegar. Keep me posted on how it all turns out. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
@@MarysNest You did not answer his question....you talk like a politician.....keep me posted.
Do you make Dog treats? If so, can you make a video on it? Love to learn while you teach! 🌻
Will do! 🤗
What is the shelf life once you strain and decant your vinegar?
Hi JoAnn, Although the FDA and USDA will apply expiration dates to store bough apple cider vinegar - both store bough and homemade basically have an indefinite self-life.

Have you made tomatoes vinegar i thought it may go in dressing
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing
Hi Menka, Thanks so much for being here!! Love, Mary
Thanks for share maam
Are u using 5 or 9 % vinager?
Great question. I used 5%. 🤗
I have a whitish film on top of my citrus vinegar. Could this be mold?
I also developed a white film. Is it dangerous?
That's the Mother forming.
..love your energy....thanks for the tips... 💜🤗💜🤗💜🤗🐳
Do you remove the seeds?
How do you make the sugar?
If it's white on top has it gone bad?
Hi Marry, thanks for the great video. I am trying out the vinger with whole fruit version. it's been a little over one month now and it smells very nice but has a little bitter taste do you think that's okay? .
Hi Dan, Thanks for visiting and filling me in. When you say bitter taste...do you mean tangy like vinegar? If so, you are on the right path. How does it smell? Like vinegar? Have you seen the playlist where I walk you through the entire 30 day process? Here’s the link: ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U3apQRTzhfQBkR_x0rb514U Keep me posted. Love, Mary🤗
What happens if you add a 1/4 cup sugar a third time?
Great question. It's really not necessary. After the first 2 additions the good bacteria has plenty to eat to do its job. And adding more, may extend the process to give the good bacteria time to eat the additional sugar so that you have vinegar and not sweetened liquid. Love, Mary
