Hi Cate How generous of you. I would love to come, however I am a newbie to fermenting and am not sure what I should bring to ferment. I did make a batch of...
Hi SHaron, I'll help you with whatever you want to make, We can even make chutney's if you look up the recipe in NT and bring the ingredients. I'll have some...
Well, I could have a pickle party today, after picking! I have 9 cucumber plants and haven't picked for about 3 days, except for the ones I picked yesterday to...
I made the mistake of not buying "pickling" cucumbers and mine came out pretty soggy. Still tasty, but lacking the crunch. But not too long ago, there was a...

Well, I separated the whey from my Straus Family Creamery, organic, plain yogurt yesterday, and today I will hopefully have time to start some lacto-fermented...
Sounds great, Cheryl! Like your intuition tells you, the pickles that I've made are crisper than vinegar pickles. The lactic acid that will be produced will...
Cathy, I am using the NT recipe; it calls for whey or extra salt, so that's why I used whey (I didn't want them to be too salty). Now, I have a few questions. ...
Good Job Cheryl! some answers to your questions: The lids may or may not seal- it doesn't matter, the salt and lactic acid will prevent any thing bad from...

Very kewl! Like adobe in New Mexico. I can see the appeal especially because I live in a tract house and can vouch for how inappropiate it is for the Central...
Hi everyone, I need to change my vote to Monday the 21st. I used to be open to both dates, now only Monday works for us, but we are quite flexible to the...
Hello Everyone, Looks like we'll start pickling @10:00am on Monday, Aug. 21. Hope to see you there. Just a reminder: Bring whatever you want to ferment. A...
