Fermenting Food

[Lady tehMa]

It's a trend now - fermenting your own food. I bought some stuff to do it with and tried it last year, it was pretty good. Then I forgot about it until someone was raving about their fermented sour pickles.

I've got 4 jars started now, we'll see what I have in two weeks.

I did beet pickles last year, they were pretty good. And kimchi. I'm going to have to be a bit more careful this year since I'm eating low carb.

What have you fermented, did you like it?

I've fermented grape juice. Didn't come out like I had hoped.

Never did acquire a taste for fermented veggies.

Used to do huge batches of sauerkraut when the kids were around ... now it's cheaper for me to buy a jar. Have a container of sourdough starter on hand at all times.

Me either other than sauerkraut. All my fermenting is out in the compost bin.

I used to ferment cabbage in a 2 gal. crock pot, I would eat whatever I could over 6 months. The balance was portioned off and other flavours were added like; Jalapeños, red hot chili peppers, or some other strong flavored veggy, or just plain, before jarring it and water boiling it.

Fermenting veggies is very close to pickling ......with the ability to add flavors later.
