Here is a good Eastern NC vinegar starter recipe. This batch in the picture has a couple of dried peppers floating in there. If this sounds too tart, you can substitute some apple juice for some of the water. Adding a splash of wooster is a nice touch too.....It works as a mop and a sop both. A shaker bottle is a good way to go, then you just carry it from the pit to the table wihtout any worry of cross contamination.
1/2 Cup Water
1 Cup Cider Vinegar
2 t Salt (try sea salt)
1-1/2 t Cayenne Pepper
1/2 t Black Pepper
Warm the base so that the salt & peppers can blend in evenly.
