Step 1

In a sterilized jar, add the sugar and apple cores. Give it a stir, add a lid with either cheesecloth or a coffee filter on top, and set in a warm place in your pantry for two weeks.

Step 2

Compost the apple cores at this point, and allow the mixture to ferment for an additional two weeks.

Step 3

The vinegar is ready when it is tangy and tastes like vinegar to your liking.
