Fermentation Friday: Repacking Jars

 

Repacking fermented pesto.

*Insert whiny child voice* “Do I really have to repack my jars when they are eaten down?”

Of course I can’t make you do anything but if you want to keep the full benefit of the ferment you so painstakingly made, you might consider it.

I recommend people repack [...]

Mexican Cilantro Pesto, Fermented (or not)

It seems cilantro is like okra.  Either you love it or you hate it.  I love it but my sister says it tastes like soap.  Well, more for me!  We’ve gotten a couple bunches of cilantro from our herb CSA.  I have cilantro in my garden too so we had more cilantro than [...]

Pickled Pea Pods: Revamped

I’ve been putting this off for a long time but here goes! I’m going to be posting one of my old recipes each week, revamped for anaerobic fermentation.  It almost pains me to look at my old pictures of loosely covered mason jars.  As I always say, know better, do better. Pickled Pea Pods [...]

Converting Vinegar Pickle Recipes

“Can I convert my grandma’s famous vinegar pickle recipe into a lactofermented pickle?”

Why yes.  Yes you can!  I do it all the time.

It’s super simple and usually just a matter of replacing vinegar with a 2%-3.5% brine (2% for most veggies, 3.5% for cucumbers).

Here is an example using a basic [...]

Sweet and Spicy Pickles

Sweet and Spicy Pickles, before.

I cannot believe I’m going to utter the following words.

I

like

sweet pickles.

Yikes!  I said it!  There are not many foods that I don’t like.  I have a very very diverse palate.  Hello, I love liver. I would order it in a [...]

Orange Ginger Beet Kvass, Revised

Why am I posting this recipe again?  Well because I’m still learning so much about lactofermentation (despite my 10 or so years of experience) and I’ve learned some new things about beet kvass.  Evidently I’ve been doing it all wrong.  Not to say the way I was doing it before was wrong necessarily but [...]

Fermentation Friday

Time to get your ferment on!

I’m going to be doing Fermentation Friday a little different from now on.  Rather than just posting a recipe, Friday’s post is going to be more of a link love post.  I’ve found a few wonderful fellow bloggers who have a love for fermentation equal to my own. [...]

Cajun Sauteed Okra

Okra is rolling in!  Being in North Dakota, okra is not a common dish up here.  Our CSA is growing it and people are asking for ideas to use it.  Of course I’m experimenting and I’m loving it.  I’m pickling some of it but I have to use some of it fresh too.  Fresh [...]
