Never throw away your apple scraps again!  Instead, try making your own homemade apple cider vinegar using your leftover apple scraps. It's easy, cost-effective, and a great way to reduce waste. Plus, you'll end up with a delicious and healthy addition to your pantry.  
Ingredients:
  • Fill 3/4 of a jar with Apple Scraps (apple peels, cores and seeds)
  • 4 TBL Local Honey or Raw Sugar
  •  2 Quarts of Water
Mixing Pear and Apples in the next batch
Instructions:
Fill a glass jar 3/4 of the way with Apple or Pair Scraps (cores & peels)
Disolve Honey OR Sugar into Water and Stir 
Pour Honey or Sugar water over the Apples
Add weights to keep apples submerged.
Dry jar rim
Add a paper coffee filter and secure with a rubber band or mason jar lid.

Store 3 weeks in a cool dark place like a cabinet.  
Check often to make sure that all apples are submerged to prevent molding. 
After 3 weeks strain apples and compost.
Pour the strained apple liquid into a clean jar and top with a coffee filter and rubber band or mason jar ring for another 3-4 weeks.  
Stir every few days.
Apple cider vinegar is ready when it reaches your desired tartness. Remove the coffee filter.  Pour into a mason jar with a plastic lid to seal or flip the top bottle and start using it for salads, or any recipe you like!

Never miss a recipe!


Notes from the cook:
Sugar can be substituted for the local honey.  
Make sure your water is free of chlorine and other harmful chemicals.

About Me

Hi, I’m Jenn! 👋 I’m so glad you’re here!
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed when trying to make healthier choices. For over 20 years, I’ve been on a journey to create a gluten-free and low-tox lifestyle that doesn’t feel restrictive, complicated, or expensive. My mission is to help busy women like you transition to a healthier home and diet—without the stress.

Why I Do This

My journey started when I realized that many of the foods and products I was using every day were impacting my health. I have gluten sensitivity, and several family members also follow a gluten-free diet. But I didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on delicious food or spending hours researching safe products. So, I set out to simplify the process!
As I started reading labels and swapping out processed foods, skincare, and cleaning products for safer, healthier alternatives, I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. It became clear that small, intentional swaps make a big impact—and I want to help you do the same.
