Way too hot to go over the #allotment and do the things I need to do, so made some prickles instead. #growyourown #preserving #lactoferment

Getting back in the swing of things. The jars left to right are tomatillo-jalepeno salsa, blueberries, red onion, and dill-szechuan pickles--all lacto ferments.

Super sad that the two in the back didn't come out (always better safe than sorry when it comes to home ferments)... but the one in the front is pretty darn fantastic, and mostly weeds: Lamb's Quarters, Purslane, Livid Amaranth, and a bit of carrot.

I decided to make some juniper Berry/ginger/lemon soda for a homemade Mexican dinner party I’m having next week.

So, I got out my Italian soda ferment jars. We shall see if this works.

It is filtered water, juniper berries, couple slices of ginger root, a slice of lemon and 1/4 teaspoon of raw #Vermont honey.

I’ll burp them daily. Im hoping for a bit of a tonic taste, not sweet. It’s just a 7 day ferment without a bug starter.

It’s an on-the-fly soda experiment.

Let’s make Amba! Adapting the Noma Guide to Fermentation’s lacto plumb recipe to mangos. Vacuum sealed with 2% non iodized salt by weight. 5-7 days and the bag should expand with off gassed CO2. We’ll let the gas out and taste them and either reseal for a few more days or blend them into a killer fermented sauce.

So, I've finally tasted the #cheese I started on Nov. 12, 2022.

Nice flavor. Complex, a little nutty.

Decent rind development.

I think I've impressed myself.
