 1. A spoonful of vinegar added to the cooking water of cauliflower
    keeps the vegetable white and the air fresh.

 2. Catsup and other condiments will last longer if you add
    1 ts of vinegar to the bottles.

 3. Keep hard-boiled eggs from cracking by adding vinegar to the
    cooking water.

 4. Prevent peeled, raw potatoes from discoloring by adding
    1 tb of vinegar to the soaking water. They'll stay white for a
    few days in the refrigerator.

 5. Keep poached eggs from separating in the cooking water by adding
    a few drops of vinegar.

 6. Adding 3 ts of vinegar to the water when cooking dried beans will
    make them more tender--and you won't suffer from gas after you
    eat them.

 7. Canned fish, such as shrimp, will taste less fishy and much
    fresher if you soak it in a mixture of 2 ts sherry and 2 tb
    vinegar.

 8. Soak frozen fish in vinegar and water for a fresher, sweeter
    flavor.

 9. Cut the salt taste of boiled ham by adding a splash of vinegar to
    the water.

10. Sprinkle fresh fruit with sugar and vinegar for a sweeter,
    fresher taste. To make a really special dessert, cut up fresh
    fruit and add vinegar and sugar to taste. Let it sit for a few
    hours for a sweet and tasty syrup.
