From making pickles to healthy salad dressings, vinegar is part of our culinary life. Food vinegars have an average acetic acid level of 5 percent. Of the common vinegars, apple cider vinegar has the highest acetic-acid content: 8 percent. A higher acidity adds more tanginess to a dish while reducing the need for salt. You can easily increase the acidity of a vinegar by blending common table vinegar -- which has 5 percent acetic acid -- with a stronger variety.
Place the jar in a ventilated area.
Measure equal parts white vinegar and pickling vinegar. Add both varieties to the jar.
Seal the jar and shake it vigorously to combine the vinegars. You can also use a long-handled spoon to combine them. Label the jar "7.5% vinegar" and store until needed.
