Fermintation! 🥰

With Christmas around the corner, perhaps now would be a good time to start thinking about giving gifts of food. Not just the sugary seasonal things, but also healthy foods like fermented foods. The link above takes you to fifty wonderful recipes to start with.

The first thing I ever fermented was kraut. I grew up with my late mom fermenting pickles and kraut. We had a ceramic crock. This thing was huge. Or so it seemed to me as a child. There’d be this odd sound coming from there. Then there was this awesome kraut or dill pickles. Below will be a highlight of the recipes.

DRINKS: Over the last ten years or so we’ve seen this insane push for Kombucha, Kiefer and Kavass. You can make so many drinks with the fizz comparable to soda.

DAIRY: You read it right. You can make milk, cheese, or yogurt with fermentation. That’s just the start.

VEGGIES: Veggies can be perserved by fermentation. It’s a great way to produce pickles of all kinds.

FRUIT: You thought fermenting was limited. Think again. I have made fermented apples. They are excellent as a treat. Slightly sour and sweet.
