I've come to the rather simple and obvious conclusion that if the [[Pickling|pickling]] [[Vinegar|vinegar]] does not taste very nice, the [[Pickles|pickles]] probably won't either!


{{Template:CookTools}}
Using [[Malt vinegar|malt vinegar]] as the base makes sense as it is relatively economical and it will do the 'donkey work' with the [[Pickle|pickle]].  Blending other [[Vinegars|vinegars]] and [[Spices|spices]] enhances the flavour of the finished [[Vinegar|vinegar]] and the addition of [[Sugar|sugar]] removes the harshness.
 
[[Jaggery]] or other 'dark' [[Sugars|sugars]] such as [[Demerara|demerara]] and [[Muscovado|muscovado]] also adds a more interesting flavour than pure [[White sugar|white sugar]].  [[Honey]] would also be a good addition if you have a plentiful source available.
 
As Autumn approaches again, I've been making lots of different [[Pickles|pickles]] and have been experimenting with the [[Pickling|pickling]] [[Vinegar|vinegar]] as I've found the commercial pickling [[Vinegars|vinegars]] rather harsh and uninteresting.

As Autumn approaches again, I've been making lots of different [[Pickles|pickles]] and have been experimenting with the [[Pickling|pickling]] [[Vinegar|vinegar]] as I've found the commercial pickling [[Vinegars|vinegars]] rather harsh and uninteresting.
