Maple Vinegar
Maple vinegar is made from maple sap and maple syrup . One document from 1913 reveals that, at the time, between 25 and 30 gallons of high quality vinegar could be obtained from 1,000 tapped trees .
At 50°F, alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously in barreled syrup . This is the first step in maple vinegar production . The next step is the addition of one or two yeast tablets or a quantity of raisins . After two weeks fermentation is complete, and the liquid is carefully filtered and combined with a small amount of older vinegar .
