Didn't even realize vinegar could be made from pear scraps. Makes sense! Thanks!

[@RowCoFarms]

Yes it can! If you try let me know how it turns out.

[@raydeenjaques2048]

I cannot believe I threw my Apple scrap vinegar away! I thought it went bad but that…stuff…was it’s amazing-ness. Now I know, think you for this informative demonstration!

[@katabri1698]

Looks like a great way to use up scraps!

[@mybelovedchaos]

This is great info! I've made apple vinegar before but never had such a beautiful mother!

[@RowCoFarms]

Thank you so much!

[@ValleyView24]

Grateful for your willingness to share with us!!

[@RowCoFarms]

I love sharing with you all! Glad you were here to watch.

[@littlecreekhomestead4086]

What a neat way to use the scraps up in a new way.

[@kaitlynwatts2655]

This looks super beginner friendly! I’d definitely have to set myself reminders so I remember when to remove the Apple scraps. Lol.

[@RowCoFarms]

So easy and hands off. It’s just about being patient.

[@karenpasquith6510]

Wow! I never realized how easy it is to make vinegar. Thanks

[@RowCoFarms]

Super easy! Mostly it’s just a lot of waiting!

[@thisbeautifullifeofmine]

This is a great trade to have under your belt, I will definitely be praying close attention to learn how to do this..

[@kymberlilittlejohnwhite6603]

I’m so amazed that you can DIY vinegar. Thank you for sharing!

[@RowCoFarms]

Thanks for watching. It just takes patience and time. And some scraps.

[@laurablaszczyk4662]

That is so exciting to see something made from scraps going to try this!

[@RowCoFarms]

❤️❤️

[@judydiedrich9937]

great presentation. like seeing the whole process. Thanks for being part of the colab.

[@beckybrown3291]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been waiting for a video on making vinegar that actually explains it clearly and doesn't assume we already know most of it.

[@RowCoFarms]

Glad I could help you out! Let me know how it turns out.

[@freecalkid]

I love fermenting and have been fermenting for a year or so. I find it helps me so much with indigention issures and mostly avoiding indigention issues. Hugs from Knoxville, TN!

[@RowCoFarms]

Yes! Fermentation can definitely help with regulating gut issues. So glad you’re here. Thanks for watching.

[@fallenangelwi25]

An amazing way to use every part of your fruit!!!! I want to make some soon!!!

[@kelseystengel8241]

So happy to find your channel through this collab! Thank you for sharing, I had no idea you could use scraps for vinegar

[@RowCoFarms]

Thanks for joining us! This collab has been great! Loving all the new info and new channels that I didn’t even know about! ❤️

[@karinwishner4861]

Now I know what I’m going to do with pear scraps. Thank you.

[@rebeccal.3959]

What an interesting way to use up apple scraps. 🍎

[@RowCoFarms]

It’s a great way to use something that was headed for the trash!❤️

[@arcticcat7142]

I just made some more apple cider vinegar, three weeks ago and I’ve been thinking about doing another one or two vinegars! THANK YOU for lighting the fire!

[@RowCoFarms]

Yes!!!! Do this thing! Strike while the iron is hot as they say!

[@kristinebeedle657]

Love making vinegar for scraps. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

Thanks for the video. I have been making my own vinegar for about three years now. We love doing this.

[@RowCoFarms]

Thank you so much!

That’s for joining us! Love having you here.

[@theresasnow4050]

Great way to use up scraps.

[@nancystewart1331]

I don't use enough vinegar to make my own, but I found the process fascinating. I'm really impressed with your answers to questions in the comments.. Reading through them answered my questions on a couple of things! Thanks!!

[@RowCoFarms]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you will follow along.

[@Ms.SheriT]

@nancystewart1331 you can use the vinegar for cleaning

[@t-rozbenouameur5304]

​@@Ms.SheriTbe kinda pointless to use it for cleaning when distilled white vinegar is dirt cheap

[@happyhedgehoghomestead6086]

I will be canning apple sauce tomorrow. Zero waste ACV here I come.

[@RowCoFarms]

I love this! Take it and run !!!

[@katelynfernando5072]

I've never thought about making my own vinegar :O Thanks for the video!

[@suzannegreene5033]

I like a lot of different vinegars. This looks like something I would like to try.

[@farmerandadeleacres2726]

I just bought a book on making vinegar. This came at the perfect time. Many Thanks!!

[@RowCoFarms]

Perfect timing! Good luck with your vinegar making endeavors!

[@sabrinahoward7223]

I just started my first attempt at apple cider vinegar! These videos are so encouraging. I loved that you went through the time frames for the whole process, thank you.

[@RowCoFarms]

Hope it helps! Let me know how it turns out! ❤️ thanks for watching.

[@celestejohnson9227]

This couldn’t have come at a better time. I have apples in storage and need to use them up. Scraps generally go to my chickens but they will have to wait a little longer. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@RowCoFarms]

Your welcome. Thanks so much for watching.

[@roxannhatch491]

I had no idea how easy vinegar was to make! Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@RowCoFarms]

Your welcome! Let me know if you try it out!

[@stevenscott3435]

I have wondered about making different vinegars, and now I have a guide to help.

[@RowCoFarms]

Glad i could help!

[@bethbeckermeyer1732]

TFS

[@crissytalty5160]

Ohhhh I bet these make wonderful dressing, and cleaners!!!

[@RowCoFarms]

They sure do! I use mine for all that and then some!

[@leannagriffith9622]

I never would have thought about making my own vinegar. Thank You.

[@RowCoFarms]

It’s really so simple and from something that you would have thrown away anyway. ❤️❤️

[@bonniecarrodus5426]

I have used apple scraps and also peach scraps before to make vinegar. I especially liked using the peach vinegar in salad dressing!

[@RowCoFarms]

Oh the peach vinegar sounds divine! I will use my peaches this summer to make some of that!

[@shortofvintageoldstead4210]

I had apple and pear scraps from this past harvest and could have had vinegar by now! Oh well, the chickens enjoyed the scraps, but this coming season I will be making vinegar! Thanks for this video!

[@RowCoFarms]

Now you know for future harvests! You will be vinegar making in no time.

[@donnalovintexas8760]

Interesting subject. I have never thought about making vinegar. I may rethink planting an apple tree. Stay Safe and have a Blessed day.

[@DeborahDeBoer]

Never even thought about making vinegar! That wa was awesome thank you!

[@RowCoFarms]

You are so welcome!

[@susieosborne3732]

Thanks for sharing.

[@lauraraymond388]

Thank you for showing the SCOBY. While I know it should form, it can also be so difficult to feel comfortable when you have only read about it. This is a different version that I have seen others do, and after watching the progression, I am sure this is the method I will be using this fall. Thank you again for sharing.

[@RowCoFarms]

So glad this helped you out! Let me know how it all turns out for you when you decide to make it.

[@estherreeves6445]

Vinegar is definetly on my list of things I want to try

[@RowCoFarms]

Do it!!!

[@kermitandmisspiggyb]

This will be a new thing for me. Thank you for your videos.

[@RowCoFarms]

Your welcome. Good luck.

[@kbeebe2686]

This is so cool! I’m new to fermenting, didn’t even know that vinegar was an option 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@unleashedpatriot1802]

I can’t wait for a , hopefully, great apple harvest this year! I am so making the ACV!!

[@RowCoFarms]

Yay! I am hoping for a great harvest this year as well!

[@stellasmith9886]

Love love love fermenting!!

[@RowCoFarms]

Me too!

[@kimiyemlsmallgardendream8115]

Laughed out loud, when you tipped the jar to show the Scoby I actually leaned into my iPad screen to see down into your jars that was hilarious. I can’t wait to make my own apple cider vinegar or pear vinegar thank you so much for this video.

[@RowCoFarms]

I love that! I’m doing something right if you’re leaning into the screen for a sniff and a look! I appreciate your comments more than you know! ❤️❤️

[@donnahbrnger5161]

I always thought making vinegar was hard. Thanks for the clear and simple instructions.

[@tammym110]

I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for posting. This video is just in time. Last spring I saw a video of how to make fruit vinegar. I had some raspberries on hand that needed to be eaten but still very good. The video said after you put the fruit in the jar to add water and sugar and set it away in a dark place. I checked on them daily for a week. The raspberries turned white and the water red. It didn’t smell like vinegar and the berries no longer tasted like raspberries so I bought more raspberries. I fished out the old berries and filled the jar with even more berries than I did before. I had to go out of town for a few weeks but it turned into months. When I got home not only were the berries white but the liquid was fizzing like your pears did. I fished the berries out and let it sit for a few weeks and it had that white stuff floating on top like both of your vinegars did. Now I know it’s yeast. I wrote to the person who made the video to find out if I ruined the vinegar but got no response . I set the jar back into the dark place until last week and I tasted it. The white stuff was gone and no more fizz. It also has not much flavor. It just tastes like weak raspberry water and not like vinegar. I really want raspberry vinegar. Should I toss this batch or just keep adding more raspberries?

[@RowCoFarms]

Well I would probably start fresh with a large batch of fruit. Fill the whole jar with fruit. That will give you the most flavor. Then follow the process that I did here. Allow it to ferment with the fruit for 2 weeks then strain off the fruit and let it sit for 4-6 more months. That will allow it to develop the vinegar taste. Anytime you add more fruit to the batch it gives it something to feed on which you don’t want in this case. You want to starve the ferment. That’s is what gives you that sour vinegar taste. I hope that helps some. Please let me know if you have questions. Good luck.

[@jenniferr2057]

I love fermented. I love vinegar. We have a friend we invite to dinner and she asks if we are eating sour food!

[@RowCoFarms]

Lol! Glad you love it all! ❤️

[@karensgarden1750]

Thanks for showing this! I really enjoyed it.

[@kimgapeach]

Loved thus video! Have a big bag of pear scraps in freezer that I need to do something with so pear vinegar it is! I'm so loving this collaboration!

[@RowCoFarms]

Yes sounds like you have a plan for action! Let me know how it goes!

[@charmainemrtnz]

I am excited about lots of learning.

[@RowCoFarms]

I’m excited too! I can’t wait for some of the videos that are coming this month.

[@rebelchildshomestead]

I've always wanted to make my own vinegar. Thank you for this video!

[@longarmsupplies]

Apparently I'm a lazy vinegar maker. I don't strain it till it's done. I use some of that starter(from my apple cider vinegar) used a bunch of my flowers and herbs that are good for my hair, and make a beautiful, lovely smelling vinegar to rinse my hair with.

[@RowCoFarms]

Well I though my way was lazy! Lol. If it works then I’m all for it! I’ve always strained mine because I was worried about molding. But if I can eliminate a step then I’m all about it! ❤️

[@longarmsupplies]

@@RowCoFarms You just have to make sure everything stays under the "water" and scoby. If it sticks up, yes, it will mold. I just stir mine when ever I think about it. But I make mine in five gallon pails so it's a bigger footprint and harder to forget :)

[@terrisambuco6300]

Thank you for sharing this! I have not seen this made before.

[@wayaheritagehomestead1070]

How cool! I love the idea of adding raw vinegar to start it, I tried once without that and got mold😔 will definitely be trying again now that I know this trick!

[@willow3310]

Thank you for this! I have wanted to try this for so long but never have since I am a visual learner! Thank you so much for this. One of my local grocery stores used to sell a rose vinegar that I loved for salads. Now I have to plant some roses to make my own! Be Blessed

[@RowCoFarms]

Now that sound really interesting! I have never heard of rose vinegar. I’m going to have to plant some roses!

[@Frankie_902]

My vinegars are starting to get little bubbles in it. This is so stinking exciting!!! I was so thrilled I started my ACV because I went to Walmart yesterday and the gallon size of their ACV with the Mother price more than double since last week. Went from $9.?? TO $18.97 !! I was shocked!!! I won't be purchasing it anymore.

[@RowCoFarms]

Wow! What a price difference. Maybe you can put a little dent in that cost now! So exciting to see that the ferment is happening. Keep me posted. ❤️

[@margaretschumacher7752]

We have lots of apple trees, but I have never tried this. I'll have to give it a try next fall.

[@RedNicole22]

I have two apple/ pear going right now. I did mine with water, sugar, and scraps. It's finally bubbling now, I was so happy to see that. My house is pretty cold so it took a longer time to start the fermentation process. i’m so excited to see the finished product.

[@RowCoFarms]

Yay! So exciting to see if there people doing this too! It just takes patience. Kind of forget about it for a few months and then bam 💥 vinegar! That my kind of preservation. The kind I can neglect for a long time and not ruin it! Lol. Thanks for watching.
