Vinegar is the sharp, tangy ingredient that dresses the valley's salads and soups. Pierre's General Store sells it all year, and a Keg can brew it at home from milled Rice. Coleslaw, Radish Salad, Salad and Parsnip Soup all depend on it. Vinegar also has a use outside the kitchen, because pouring it on a tree stops that tree from ever growing Moss. Between the kitchen and the orchard, a few spare bottles are always worth keeping.
Location
Buying is the easy option. Pierre's General Store keeps Vinegar on the shelf every day of the year. A bottle costs twice its sell value, so the shop is best for small amounts needed right away.
Brewing is the cheaper option for a farm with a rice paddy. Unmilled Rice first goes through the Mill, which turns it into Rice overnight. Putting that Rice into a Keg then makes two bottles of Vinegar after about ten hours. The two bottles are together worth twice the Rice that went in, so the Keg adds real value even before any cooking.
The order of steps matters. A Keg filled with Unmilled Rice brews it like any other vegetable, and the result is a juice rather than Vinegar. Milling first is the step that makes the whole chain work.
Uses
Coleslaw is the most valuable of the Vinegar dishes. Cooking a Red Cabbage with Vinegar and Mayonnaise makes it, and The Queen of Sauce teaches it on a Spring show. The Mayonnaise comes from an egg placed in a Mayonnaise Machine, so a Coop on the farm keeps this dish within reach.
Radish Salad mixes Vinegar with Oil and a Radish. The Queen of Sauce shares that recipe on a Spring show as well. Its energy and sale value come close to Coleslaw for a simpler shopping list.
Salad is the forager's option. Cooking a Leek and a Dandelion with Vinegar makes it, and Emily mails the recipe at three hearts of friendship. Both greens can be picked up while foraging in Spring.
Parsnip Soup blends a Parsnip with Milk and Vinegar. Caroline sends that recipe at three hearts of friendship. Parsnips are a Spring crop, and Milk comes from a Cow, so the soup suits a farm that has just added a Barn.

Notes
Trees in the valley slowly grow Moss, which a Scythe or an axe collects. Using Vinegar on a tree stops that particular tree from growing Moss again. It is a good choice for trees that should stay clean, and it leaves the rest of the grove free to keep producing Moss for crafting.
