Do you ferment?

[Rhodie Ranch]

I've got garlic that has finished fermenting, on my countertop. Time to put it in the frig. I also have my first salt cured lemons doing their thing in a jar on the countertop.

What do you do with the lemons?

I made fermented hot sauce a while ago.

I have hot peppers fermenting now for hot sauce. Do you keep it in the fridge after it's done?

Evidently after a few months I can use the lemons for anything. Fish, salads, etc. It was something fun to try.

I said mead, that's SORT of the same thing

I actually made some mulberry wine of a sort recently (I say of a sort because I used mulberry molasses, as opposed to fresh mulberry juice)

@Pulsegleaner , you must indicate that it is something that you enjoy to capture my attention.

Otherwise, your experience is like mine. I could make beer, without Dad being involved, and dump it in the compost. I could make a wine that was palatable but the recipe had drifted completely off what I had intended. That intention was to use something from the garden and not grapes. I felt that it was very unlikely that a grape wine would come close to most anything that I could buy off the shelf.

The wine that I was successful with was rice & raisin. I grew neither. Dad was a successful, amateur brewer. I played a supporting role.

I made dandelion wine once. It was a bit of a complicated process with killing the natural bugs and introducing a special yeast but it was pretty good.

Ignoring me again Steve? That's OK. I'm married so I'm used to it.

Giving it a whirl. Have jalapeños with a carrot and garlic going.

Best suggestions on how to utilize this mix?
