Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

I don't know enough about testing for acid. Litmus paper would show that acid is present, but is the acid percentage enough to penetrate all the food in the jar and be effective at preventing the growth of organisms? We use plenty of store-bought vinegar, but it would be great to experiment with using our own.

We use cheap white vinegar for a lot of the cleaning around the house. I especially like using it 'before and after' to clean the kitchen bench when processing an animal. We keep a spray bottle of undiluted white vinegar for such purposes.
