Am just following a recipe for Tomato and Pepper Relish and it lists White wine vinegar, which I don't have....I do however have, cider vinegar, balsamic, malt (brown) & distilled (white) - would any of these be suitable?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'd be inclined to use the cider vinegar. It is pale like the white would be, so you should keep the colour, and the flavour will not be entirely incompatible with tomatoes.0

Personally, I would use the cider vinegar but I think any of them would do - it'll alter the taste slighty and the balsamic may need to be diluted with other vinegar if it the very expensive almost solid type
Also, if you use malt, you might have to leave the relish for a while for the flavours to mellow. 0 -
Thanks for your replies - I was going to leave the jars a few weeks to settle anyhow, so don't know whether to risk it...may just send OH out (I'm not dressed yet!

Using either the cider or balsamic vinegar really won't result in disaster. The flavour may be a little different from what the recipe writer had in mind but it will be perfectly edible. Who's to say that the recipe writer is right anyway? Have they tried it with all sorts of different types of vinegar? I doubt it. Recipes should be treated as gudielines not laws. I would definitely 'risk it'Thanks for your replies - I was going to leave the jars a few weeks to settle anyhow, so don't know whether to risk it...may just send OH out (I'm not dressed yet!)

My receipe is calling for 2 tbsp of white wine vinegar but I don't have any - what can I use instead? (I'm making sticky ribs with roasted new potatoes - the vinegar is to sprinkle on the roasted potatoes after cooking).
Thanks.....0 -
Lemon might work.0
