If you have been reading FrugalFortWayne.com for awhile, you are probably aware of how much I love vinegar. I use it for cleaning, cooking and disinfecting. Well, you can imagine how excited I was to find an entire 18 page booklet devoted to off label uses for vinegar.
Don't worry, I am not going to bore you with an incessantly long list of weird ways to use vinegar, I will just post a few a day over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
Cooking with Vinegar
- Your gelatin desserts will stand up to heat better in the summer if you add a teaspoon of white vinegar per box of gelatin to your favorite gelatin recipes.
- To rescue a recipe that tastes too sweet or too salty after you have mixed the ingredients, try a dash of white vinegar. It may just fix the problem.
- To revive vegetables that look a little droopy or wilted, soak them in one quart of water and a tablespoon of white vinegar.
- Enhance the flavor of your favorite grilled fish by adding a dash of white vinegar. For firmer, whiter fish, soak your favorite fillet or seafood steak for 20 minutes in one quart of water and two tablespoons of vinegar.
- When a recipe calls for buttermilk and you don't have any on hand, just add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it stand for five minutes to thicken. Now, you have an instant substitute.
