salams
this is an excellent article regarding
vinegar, i never knew such fruits could be made into vinegars
SubhanaAllah. is there anyone in the UK who is actually making these? i
would love to get hold of some as it has so many benefits. or is there a
someone from abroad who i can get it from? would pay for it
ofcourse.
Thanks for your interest
in Halal Vinegar technology, when we ferment the fruit juice with Wild
yeasts (available in the air) & we brew aerobically from the first day of
fermentation. All over the world, vinegar is produced by furnishing Brewer's
yeast (which is a by-product of wine-making), & then with fermentation
locks, they ferment the fruit in the absence of air (anaerobically)
for obtaining WINE, which is oxidized further by aerobic
fermentation for making vinegar.
Along with your keen
desire, many of my friends are interested to brew pomegranate
vinegar, but they should try dates vinegar first, so that they may come
across some errors & get the training before spending money & efforts
for POM vinegar.
But I am giving you the
recipe for the ruby red vinegar today.
Brewing of pomegranate
vinegar is the most difficult, as it is so sensitive & spoils suddenly
even with all precautionary measures. That is why I say that
"it is born after thousands of
years". When pomegranates are juiced, some part of crushed
seeds also enter the juice, these seeds interfere with fermentation &
spoil the brew.
Peel the Poms, juice them,
put the juice jars in refrigerator for 2 days so that all the crushed seeds
settle at the bottom, filtrate the pure juice carefully without any movement
to the jar. Those seeds can be eaten & they will prove to be a
plumber for your digestive tract.
For other vinegars like
apple, pineapple, pears, sugarcane, coconut, etc. you will skip the seed
separation process & start the fermentation immediately after juicing. For
some fruits, their sugar contents are low & we need at least 15 %
sugar to have a good vinegar, so you may add 250 grams of white sugar to 4
liters of fruit juice.
Now cover the jar
with a cloth, as vinegar loves darkness, and the
next step is the most important when we distinguish Halal Vinegar
technology, put a thin cloth over the mouth of jar & tie
with a rubber band, so that the air goes inside from the first day & any
alcohol available is immediately oxidized. We
never use the fermentation locks.
Put
the jars in a dark place, away from sunlight & you should have enough air
in that room. Keep the windows open.
Pure juice is allowed to
ferment aerobically (by
