Homemade Apple Leaven (Bread Starter)
- 1 as much as will fit in the jar Apple
- 1 tbsp Sugar or honey
- 1 enough to cover the apples Boiled then cooled water
- 1 A jar with a lid
- 10 grams Starter liquid
- 200 grams Boiled then cooled water
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1/4 Apple
- Sterilize the jar in boiling water.
- Fill it with finely chopped up apple (including the core).
- Add enough boiled then cooled water to cover the apples, and sugar or honey.
- Add some starter liquid if you have some, and leave the jar in a warm place.
- Open up the jar to incorporate some air once a day until the starter is developed.
- When it is foamy and smells alcoholic it's done!
- It was so vigorous that it came shooting out of the jar when I opened the lid.
- It was done in 2 days.
- Strain the liquid and press out the apple bits hard with a spoon.
- Return the liquid to the jar, and store in the refrigerator.
- When you have used up half of it, add boiled then cooled water plus sugar or honey.
- When the starter liquid is down to 1/3 of its original amount, use that as the "mother" to make another batch of starter.
- You can keep it going like this for years.
- Put sugar and boiled then cooled (30C) water in a clean jar and dissolve the sugar.
- Add apple and mother starter to that and leave in a 25 to 30C location.
- Mix it up once or twice a day.
- The starter will be done in about 2 days.
- Strain, and store in the refrigerator.
