MedusA Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I was looking to make lots of pickles and chutneys this autumn. Has anyone got any recipes for making their own pickling vinegar? It seems very expensive to buy it ready made. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 White wine vinegar and a bag of pickling herbs and spices generally does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I agree with Christian - at a push I've also made it from whatever I happened to have in the bottom of vinegar bottles as well including malt (but I know lots of people don't like that, its too strong).

Christian Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have used malt vinegar before, ok for onions, a bit too strong for pickled eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Beware of mixes that include dried chillies, they ca get pretty pokey after a while, great if you can stand the heat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
