Old pickling vinegar uses?
Can you re-use piclking vinegar? I've got some I used for onions and it seems a waste to throw it away; if I can't re-pickle with it is there another use?

There is only me, so not a huge amount of dishes. Wipe all excess food debris off with one piece of kitchen paper. Using diluted…
