When my daughter was in grade four, she was instructed to write about a planet of her choice. She chose Pluto. Alas, about fifteen years later, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided Pluto was no longer a full-fledged planet—partly because it’s just one of a number of similarly sized objects in an area of our solar system called the Kuiper Belt.

If I make a litre of homemade hot sauce (primarily from habanero & poblano peppers), how much 5% acidity vinegar should I add as a preservative? All the sites specify the acidity, but then don’t say how much I need to add. (I want to add the minimum bcuz I don’t like the taste.)
