We’ve had an email from Nina:
What can I do with leftover pickled beetroot vinegar? We did the pickling ourselves in July and it seems a waste to throw the vinegar down the drain just two months later because we’ve eaten the beetroots - but we can’t use it for cleaning because it would dye everything pink!
Man, I love vinegar. Is there anything more delicious and versatile? But I agree the pink staining thing could be a bit of a problem here.
There are possible some cleaning things it could do where a pink stain or whatever wouldn’t be a problem - like removing rust from metals before painting - and studies have shown its worth as a herbicide.
Any other suggestions?

Can’t it just be used instead of vinegar in any recipe?

That was my thought too… maybe a raspberry beet vinegar dressing for salad?

Pink staining isn’t be a problem with this recipe, matter of fact is an asset.
1 doz. eggs, boiled and peeled and enough boiling sweetened vinegar beet juice (with beets if desired) to cover. Let eggs sit a day or two before eating. Delish!

Thanks everyone!
I wasn’t sure whether I could use it for food again because I thought it might have been contaminated with bacteria or something but I’ll give it a go now!

Its true Vinegar is good for killing weeds - the best way to use it on dandelions is the cut the stalk close to the ground so you can see the centre of it then using a pipette drip it down into the stalk. kills the roots!
Salt can be used in the same way, keep it in the centre of the rosette of leaves and try not to get any on the grass!
Not the best tip if you have hundreds of them!
