Turmeric Root, Fermented1/15/2016 27 Comments Turmeric (also correctly known as tumeric) root is a very powerful anti-inflammatory, and has many other health benefits. The very best results are achieved when drinking a bit of the brine, and chewing a bit of the root, along with a spoonful of organic oil and a dash of pepper on a daily basis. Read the full story below the directions. Ingredients:Fresh Turmeric Root

Ginger ~ Pickled and Delicious!2/12/2015 9 Comments Ingredients: Young Ginger Root (not woody)
Jar: .5 to 1 Liter Probiotic Jar
Brine: 2% Brine
Temperature: 68-72ºF
Ferment: 5-7 Days
Preparation:
1. Scrape peel off ofginger root with the edge of a spoon or paring knife. Young ginger peels very easily this way without taking too much off. Break sections where necessary to get in to remove the peel.
2. Cut off any tough spots, or "healed" ends from prior breakage. Keep only the soft clean flesh of the ginger root.
3. Use mandolin or vegetable peeler on very thin setting to slice the ginger root. Food processors clog with the fiber, so a manual slicer works much better. | |

Mayonnaise (Lacto-Fermented Whole Egg/Egg Yolk)3/3/2014 11 Comments
Before we get right into making Mayo, I want to point out a few safety-related ideas. In this recipe, I am using fresh fertilized pastured eggs that were plucked from under the free range healthy hen this very morning. If you are using store-bought eggs, you should have concerns about the safety of using raw eggs including the whites. If you must use store-bought eggs, go for organic eggs that are the freshest you can find, and use two or three yolks instead of one whole egg. Ingredients:
1 large room temperature egg (add water to make 1/4 cup total egg & water [critical for emulsifying]) or two XL yolks or 3 L yolks
1 tsp. dry or prepared mustard
1 Tbs. fresh organic squeezed lemon juice
8 fl.oz. oil total: Choose a nice neutrally-flavored oil such as organic sunflower oil, or a light olive oil, or my new favorite, avocado oil
1.5 fl.oz. of your oil can be Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions ~ melted butnothot (which in the refrigerator later will make your mayo a little bit stiffer, which I like)
Salt to taste
Jar:1/2 Liter Jar holds 2 batches
Brine:Not applicable
Ferment:3-5 hrs. (if you're very brave, with very fresh eggs, up to 24 hours)
Temperature:68-72º F
Optional:Garlic brine1 tsp. (to taste) or Fermented Lemon (use just the liquid from the ferment if you mind tiny bits of lemon blended into the mayo), added after fermenting before moving to refrigerator Garden Medley Kvass1/2/2014 5 Comments

Carrots are possibly the easiest vegetable to prepare for fermenting, and is great place for beginners to get their feet wet. Whether prepared as sticks or shredded(recipe here), it's an easy ferment to put together, and is ready to eat in a week or so! One of the lovely things about fermenting vegetables is that any herb that is good with the vegetable when cooked or raw is also good with it when fermented. Dill or ginger are also good with carrot sticks. Carrots are even amazing without any herbs at all! Ingredients:
Carrots sliced lengthwise into quarters, trimmed to length desired
Optional:
A sprig of fresh chocolate mint (or sprig of dill or small slice of ginger [powerful and goes a long way])

Sauerkraut (Original German Style)7/24/2013 49 Comments
A favorite addition to sauerkraut is caraway seed. Whole caraway seed adds a wonderful flavor to sauerkraut, but use sparingly ~ A little goes a long way! Be sure the seeds are whole and not powdered. Ground spices harbor more mold and can contribute to spoilage in a new ferment.Ingredients: Cored and finely sliced cabbage (food processor or mandolin on narrowest slicing setting)
Optional: ¼ tsp. whole caraway seed/pound cabbage
Jar: Recommend 2 to 5 liter Jar
Brine: Self-brining
