[Sca-cooks] Vinegar Making?! Was Re: halloo the list??

[Terry Decker]

Verjuice is made from unripe fruit, grapes, crab apples, etc., depending on 
what was available, grape verjuice being the most common.  Unripe fruit 
tends to be acidic with the sugars undeveloped.  If you used unripe table 
grapes, it would likely work fine.  You would probably need access to a 
grower to get unripe table grapes.

Thank you! I thought that the sweetness of table grapes vs. wine grapes 
might be an indication of why wine grapes, or more specifically non-ripe 
wine grapes, would be better for making verjuice but I wasn't sure.
