All waste honey, and that with a bitter and unpleasant taste may be made into vinegar that is better flavored than that made from cider. When extracting honey, the dishes used will have honey adhering to them which should be rinsed off with as little water as possible, and the sweetened water thus obtained should be put in a keg, barrel or crock and placed where it will be kept warm. During warm weather it may be placed in the sun, and so covered that air may readily enter, and dirt and flies be excluded. The cappings removed from the combs with the uncapping knife, after the honey has drained from them, may be washed with water, and will add materially to the amount of sweetened water. The sweeter the water the stronger the vinegar will be; but it will not sour as rapidly if made too sweet at first. |
