Ulog 85: Making Citrus Vinegar For Cleaning
![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc8QrNMC78tsN3QGcDiMEnCfu8RRDvFb5pPenin6CzDo3/vine%20done.jpg)
Cleaning out the refrigerator; whether scrounging for leftovers to snack on, making a new recipe for dinner or tomorrow is garbage day, I knew I had to do something with the grapefruits I had purchased a couple of weeks ago and knew we couldn't, or in my case wouldn't, eat. I don't care for grapefruit and Mr Golden D can't eat them anymore due to a new heart medication he is taking and his cardiologist clearly stated, "no grapefruit".
I do not like to waste food and I don't think the world is quite ready for grapefruit cookies yet.
So I remembered that I had seen a video recipe a couple of days prior to this citrus discovery and figured I'd give it a try.
I'm making citrus vinegar for cleaning around the homestead!

I took the two grapefruits I had plus half of a lemon I had just cut that morning to make some lacto-fermented soda and cut them up; rinds and all, and out them into a half-gallon sized mason jar. I added 1/4 cup of organic pure cane sugar, then filled the jar up with filtered water. I used spring water.

Poured the sugar over the fruit.
I'll be leaving this on top of my refrigerator; each day removing the coffee filter and stirring, with a wooden spoon, the mixture. I'll do this for about two weeks, give or take, until the fruit stays closer to the bottom and a SCOBY begins to form on the top of the liquid/vinegar.
After that, the vinegar should be done and I can use it clean.

They'll be good for cleaning stuff...and yes, I don't really think the world is really ready for grapefruit cookies yet. But who knows, you may try :P I would eat them, seriously.

Thank you! I've been working towards sending you the info.
Wow, i am amazed at the world. This is a great idea for those grapefruits my mother insists i have. We don't like them, too sour for me.
@andiekins and @lightfootedbird!
What a great idea! I didn't realize you could make vinegar this way as well! Brilliant, on my list now :) Thanks @goldendawne
An ingenious idea to transform without to waste the fruits!
@goldendawne, It's something informative, it's always great if we can use some ingredients in other work instead of just throwing it away like a waste. Keep up the experiment. 👍

Such a great idea! I am totally going to try this soon. I've been experimenting with fermenting more foods to eat, but need to try other things like this, too! Thanks for sharing! You'll have to update us when it's ready if you get the chance, too. Hope the hubs is healing up well!

If you are unlucky you will end up with alocohol....or lucky depending.
