How to use this guide

Add apple cider vinegar in small portions to a freshly served salad and adjust salt and sugar separately. In Mexico look for vinagre de manzana and check added flavorings or sugar.

What changes and what to check

Acidity and fruit aroma vary. Use this for freshly prepared dishes, not to change a validated canning or shelf-stable pickle recipe.
