Apple Cider Vinegar

A few years ago a friend gave me a large box of cooking apples.  I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try to make apple cider vinegar. 

We washed the apples and put them in a large (unused) bin and chopped them up with a large knife.  Water was added, enough to cover the apples.

The bin was covered and left for two weeks apart from some occasional stirring.

After the 2 weeks we scooped the apples and water out of the bin and into a cheese cloth bag.  This was suspended above a bucket to allow all the liquid to drain out of the solids.

Sugar was added, about 3 - 6 cups and the liquid left in a warm dry place for 9 months mostly undisturbed.  

We bottled the resulting vinegar.
