I’ve heard of people doing a second ferment with lavender and honestly I thought it couldn’t be good. I like the smell lavender but the smell to me doesn’t translate to a good taste but maybe that’s just me. I gave it a try anyway and I’m glad I did. I can’t even begin to [...]

My plan this season was to post recipes in season as the harvest comes in. Silly me forgot that our growing season is a good month or two later than the rest of the US. We are on the edge of zone 3 and 4 so we just finished putting things in the ground. [...] What do you do with your leftover pickle juice? When I say pickle juice, I mean any brine left over from a ferment. I’m not referring to the food coloring laden vinegar from store bought pickles. We know that brine is teaming with all sorts of good stuff, lactic acid bacteria, B vitamins and lots [...] This all started when I accidentally put the lid for the fermented garlic on the jar with my kefir. I’d been wanting to make a sort of tzatziki/raita sauce with kefir anyway, this was just the kick to do it. The lid had enough garlic power to infuse the full 1/2 gallon with garlicky flavor. [...] I know this post is long overdue. I’ve been learning so much, rethinking so much and just plain avoiding it because my brain hurts. Plus I have to admit, I don’t like giving bad reviews of products. A recap: A few months ago I posted instructions for making a DIY Airlock System for your [...] It’s that time of the week again! Traditional Tuesday’s Nutritious and Delicious Blog Carnival is for anything involving traditional foods. Recipes, techniques, tips, discussions on the hows and whys we do what we do, kitchen organization, appliances used, fitting traditional foods into your life and schedule, anything under the banner of traditional foods is [...] Have you decided to make the switch from mason jars to Pickl-It’s and are trying to figure out what to buy and how many? At first I thought I would need lots and lots of jars because of all the fermenting I do but guess what? I don’t. Even with water kefir, milk kefir and [...]
If you haven’t tried lactofermented asparagus, you really should. This is another easy peasy ferment. No pounding, chopping, smashing required. I’d like to say this asparagus is fresh from my garden but so far only 2 beautiful shoots have popped up. It’s common for asparagus to keep coming up through out June and even [...] I hope you all like kefir because I’ve been posting a lot of dairy kefir recipes. Yup, I’m hooked. I just can’t go back to plain kefir. I find the kids are more likely to drink the kefir if it’s been flavored and is sitting in the fridge ready to go. They like it so [...] Eating organic grassfed meat can be spendy, especially feeding 4 growing boys organic grassfed meat. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make it less painful. One way is to use cheaper cuts of meat, like the heart. We love heart. Heart after all is a muscle and while it does have a [...] |
