Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 thanks, bonnie. that's how mine smells: a lot of oregano with a very subtle tang. i --inadvertently-- made some pineapple vinegar while in mexico: i had made tepache (alcoholic beverage made from pineapple rind, brown sugar, water), which quickly turned to vinegar. that had a definite vinegar smell to it. allene in nc << When I made some last year, I think it smelled more like the oregano in it than anything! I think there was a little tang to the smell, too, though. Bonnie in NC >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 I've made this twice and it didn't turn out the way I thought vinegar should be. The second attempt was tossed as the oregano all had white mold growing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 thanks, brenda. i just checked on mine. it too has white " something " . not on the oregano, which has settled on the bottom, but on top. i could just skim it off and it might be ok, but my father doesn't remember whether he washed the pineapple before cutting it (i forgot to tell him, and he probably thought that i wanted the peel for the compost), so i am not going to risk it. so it's adios, vinagre. allene < I've made this twice and it didn't turn out the way I thought vinegar should be.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 hi, alison-- > What are the traditional West Indies cuisine uses for > pineapple vinegar beyond cortido? pineapple vinegar --and, for that matter, cortido-- is not limited to the west indies: both are used in mexican cuisine and possibly farther south too, eg in el salvador's yummy national dish, the pupusa. i don't know any recipes off the top of my head --i'll ask around-- but, in the meantime, you could probably use the vinegar in lieu of lemon juice in preparation/soaking of beans. i seem to remember a bean dish that was cooked with chunks of fresh pineapple. also, perform a search at www.epicurious.com for " pineapple " and " vinegar " and you'll turn up a few recipes which call for both ingredients; substitute pineapple vinegar for the plain, and make other changes appropriate to NT. i hope to be able to report back soon with more suggestions-- allene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
