I just made some of this and put it in an empty cinnamon shaker. I also brushed my teeth with it. The peppermint flavor didn't really come through. It just tasted like baking soda. My teeth do feel clean though, so i'll probably use up what i made and see how i like it.

I added Neko-chan, Bethanial, and Bubblingbrooks. :) eta: ....and learned a little geography in the meantime. I think i never actually knew where Tasmania was located. Thanks! ;)

oooh i may try that. It can't hurt. Maybe i'll do a test jar to see how it comes out.

I was thinking about that, but i don't have a juicer - manual or otherwise. Do you think those thick membranes would mess up the texture if i just pureed them to death in my blender?

I have a wonderful source for lots and lots of tangelos, and a few days ago i canned just a pint of them in medium syrup. Today, we tried them. The flavor is really wonderful. But the inside of the fruit is pretty much liquefied, and the membrane is a little chewy. This presents a very...

Oh, y'all are awesome. Thank you. I know what i did now. I took the weight off of the canner to let the pressure out. As soon as i did, there was a constant forced stream of steam out of there for about 15 minutes. I remember thinking, "i don't think i was supposed to do that." Ha! Well...

See the problem? Lots of the water is gone. I assume that this means that the water boiled out of the jars while in the canner, but what could i have done to prevent this? I canned it in my pressure canner (All American) for 90 minutes at ten pounds pressure, per USDA instructions. I left...

Well, dang! I went to transfer it, and i found some mold in one of the jars. Then i started sniffing again, and i wasn't satisfied that either jar made the real thing, so i tossed it. I will have to try again. :(

O.k. thank you. At least i should be able to use it to jump start future batches, even if it doesn't develop a big loogie. ;)

Oh Thank you!!! ORChick, i'm planning to do it just to see, but what do you think will come of it if i put it in a sealed bottle now? Will it grow a mother that i can use to make vinegar more quickly? Mine doesn't appear to have any mold on it or anything, but i don't see a mother either...

three WEEKS?! i thought it was three MONTHS!!!

Hehe O.k. thanks for your help. Maybe if there had been a smaller hole at the top, less of it would've evaporated? I used mason jars. Big wide hole. I also wonder if i would've had better results if i had had a cooler place to keep it. This is Texas, so there are only so many places. I...

Oh dear. Thanks for responding. Clearly, i missed a step. I've had it in jars with t-shirt cloth over the top, in a closet since May. At what point was i supposed to bottle it? Could i still bottle it now and try to develop a mother?

I started my ACV in May. Today, i got it out of its hiding place, and it definitely smells like ACV, but there's hardly any there! It all evaporated! Did i miss something that would have prevented this? I used a whole bag of apples to make maybe a cup of vinegar! Oh, also, i'm not sure that...

I LOVE those pictures!

I'm very excited that my husband and i may be about to finally buy our first goat! So i'm doing some research and asking questions. But i need some general information from regular folks. We're getting a free Boer buck from a friend, whose kid raised it to show in the fair. So my husband did...

I'm putting that one on my wishlist. :fl

That's that, i suppose. Thanks.

Without a word from me, hubby came home today with a bag of corn tortillas and a pile of avocados. He made corn chips and guacamole. So yummy! I don't know if i've had them that way before, but they were super good.

I'm not trying to challenge moderator judgment (please don't ban me). I just would like to get some feedback. Earlier today there was some talk about a recently banned member who is thought of fondly by those left behind. I just noticed that the entire thread about said member has...
