Tomato VINEGAR.

In attempting to utilize the tomato
in as many ways as possible, it Is not
uncommon practice, especially with
tomato club" girls, to make what is
termed tomato vinegar" This prod
uct is not vinegar, although 1t has
a sour taste and to certain extent, as
In salads and for table purposes, can
be used as a substitute for vinegar.
1t is really a Tactic acid fermentation
instead of acetie acid and for this rea-
son is more like sour milk and sauer-
kraut juice. 1t spoils rapidly after
fermentation unless it is put into bot
ties, filled as full as possible, and
corked tight. After opening and ex-
posure to the air the product will spoil
unless kept very cold. In making this
product the juice is collected and al
lowed to stand in warm place for
few days. After it becomes sour it
should be filtered or strained and
stored in bottles filed full and corked
tight. 1t is said that products of this
type are being used as substitutes for
vinegar in Austria. There appears to
be no reason why such product could
not be used in salad and meat dress
ings with entire satisfaction.
