I read this website today and was inspired to put up some veges.
From left to right:
Cuke and carrot with garlic for pickles.
Carrot and zuke with salt. This will be a carrot-kraut-type-deal
Carrot, zuke, cuke and red bell pepper. I call this one sweet relish.
All three are nothing but veges and salt. The pickles have water in them, too.
It took me about half an hour to do all of this. They should be ready in three days.
I learned today that if it gets moldy on top, just scrap the mold and the under part is good. I have been tossing them out, D'oh! *smacks forehead*
I don't know if you can see it in this photo or not but I left half an apple on the counter over night and it sprouted.
I put the seed in a little pot with dirt but I don't expect much.
Happy Friday!
It sprouted! That means it's LIVING food!
ReplyDeleteI just want to shout that to all the knuckle heads out there who insist that once a fruit is picked, it is no longer living.
Leave a bologna sandwich on the counter overnight and see what it sprouts!
I love all the fermented vegies you're always making. I keep saying I'm going to try it and then...well...life happens. But, 30 minutes? No more excuses. Going to ready my jars now.
YAY FOR INSPIRATION!! That is the reason I keep blogging. Cause once a week or so, someone comments that I inspired them to make or to do SOMETHING that they wouldn't have done otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThank you, EarthMother, for making my wonderful day even better!
One time I bought a some grapefruit and when I cut one open, there was a teeny little grapefruit tree growing inside. I guess it wasn't the freshest fruit!
ReplyDeleteCool apple sprout! Your fermented veggies sound awesome.
