Perstorp Vinegar 24% - 300ml

Vinegar is a very versatile product, as was already known in the 17th century. In the food we eat, vinegar is found in everything from herring and meringues to chili sauce and sushi. In addition to its use in food, vinegar is a practical aid in everyday life. According to old tradition, vinegar can be used to remove stains on clothes, relieve itching from insect bites, remove weeds and bad odors and clean the oven, for example.

Perstorp Vinegar is a Swedish vinegar produced in Skåne and is well suited for pickling. There are several different types of vinegar, but what they all have in common is that they contain acetic acid. However, the content varies. It is the acetic acid that is the active ingredient and has the preservative effect, and creates an unfavorable environment for mold and bacteria in cooking.

Perstorp Vinegar is absolutely pure, 24% vinegar.

Classic 1–2–3 pickling brine with sting (perfect for onions, cucumbers & carrots)

Important

24% is concentrated vinegar.

When you make 1–2–3 brine, it should correspond to 12% household vinegar.

Convert like this:
1 part 24% + 1 part water = approx. 12%

Base brine (approx. 5 dl finished brine)
1 dl 24% vinegar
1 dl water (to dilute to 12%)
2 dl sugar
3 dl water
Total: 1 dl 12% vinegar + 2 dl sugar + 3 dl water = classic 1-2-3 brine

Boil until the sugar dissolves. Let cool.
