@carolewarner101 2 года назад

What I do to keep the vegetables submerged when fermenting is to use really small (short) condiment jars. I put them inside the wide mouth (bottom side down) and then push them down far enough so that I can screw on the canning lid, which holds them down onto the veggies below keeping them submerged, but keeps the liquid out so they remain buoyant and up against the lid. It works a charm!

@elissapoh7782 2 года назад

Hey Becky - you can put one of the tiny jelly jars in the top of your half gallon and it will hold down the food under the water the same as a fermenting weight would. I also like to use the grey plastic screw top lids from Ball instead of the flat and ring - it breathes a bit better that way.

@DonnaMSchmid 2 года назад

Tip for you about your ferments... If you don't have weights to push down the floating food, make your own using plastic freezer bags! Just place the (empty) bag in the top of your jar and fill it with additional brine. It will spread the bag out and its weight will hold the floating food down! Seal the bag and continue your fermentation. Note: Always use BRINE (not water) in the bag, just in case you get a leak in your bag!

Sometimes another jar will set down in the larger one and hold the produce down. You can find a jar to slip down into the mouth of the larger one and then pull it out, fill with water and screw a lid and ring on. It's worked for me every time. And maybe a bread and butter plate inverted would work for the crock type container. Sure would save a lot of stirring and knowing me, I would forget a day or two.

@mswsamrazik 2 года назад

Becky, you can put small jars filled with water, or small saucers on top of the fermenting produce. This is the old traditional way to do it in Eastern Europe, easy and practical. And, on the side note, the minimum suggested salt proportion is 1.5 % of the produce weight. This way you can drink the brine afterword (many Slavic cultures use the brine to make delicious soups and cure hangover 😋). You can add slices of horseradish root and leaves, some mustard seeds, leaves from some fruit trees (e.g. cherries), and shrubs (berries, grapes, etc.), oak leaves, or even some green tea because of the tannins that help to prevent mold...

pick yourself up some citric acid from the canning section of your store. Next time you need to give something a tang WITHOUT adding more liquid, use the citric acid instead. Its also great when you want to add tang WITHOUT adding a vinegar or lemon flavor.

Hi Becky, A couple things I wanted to share. 1. all those beautiful peppers you had, if you save the piece with all the seeds and just dry them on that inner piece, you have your bell pepper seeds for next year. and 2. when you want to reduce your tomatoes down the best way I have found is not to use a tall pot. the more open the pot (think your roaster) the faster the evaporation can happen as you have way more surface that can release all that moisture. I have only been watching you for a few months but I wanted to say thank you for all you share. I have had my garden for a very long time. I garden on about 3/4's of an acre lol. I am about 3.5 hours from you which I didn't know until I watched an older video. Keep doing you. Much love to you and your family.

Opening a ferment and stirring introduces oxygen which is considered unsafe, use a clean leaf from one of your cabbages to weigh it down and then just burp it daily, this is equivalent to using a weight as long as it is packed tightly.

@jiraiyawhitney7803 2 года назад

it's so amazing for me to hear that your seconds were $1/lb when in my local area the price of peppers is $1.50 per ITEM. The price difference is mind-blowing. I wish I knew some of these tips sooner; think about how much money I could've saved! 🤣Oh well, you live & you learn. On to find me some seconds sellers :P Thanks for all of the amazing tips!

@Ann-md8pu 2 года назад

How does the cost of these home-preserved foods compare to the costs of just buying it? Even if I costed my time as ZERO, the money costs of planting, caring for, harvesting, and processing some of these things must be higher than the purchase price at a supermarket. Then considering the very large amount of time and labor to grow the products, harvest them, process them, and preserve them, it seems like it would be a more economical use of my time to buy a jar of garlic powder (for example), than to grow, harvest, process, machine-dry and home-powder a huge harvest of garlic until it is reduced to the same few ounces as in the supermarket's jar. Would she be better off just buying most of the food she processes, and using the time she saves to make her own clothes, for example, or to volunteer for a charity?

@TiffTosi 2 года назад

Have you thought about getting some lemons and making limoncello? It's very easy and so refreshing. A similar process to what you're doing with the pears and apples. Just lemon rinds in 100 proof vodka or 190 proof Everclear. Let soak for 3 weeks, shaking once a day, and then add a simple syrup at the end. You do have to store it in a cool dark place during those 3 weeks, but after it's all finished you have a delicious fresh liquor that you can put on top of dresserts or drink as it is. It is recommended you use it within 3 months of the date of preparation, though.

@terrybryson6864 2 года назад

Just wondering if adding all the tomato paste would cause a need for more vinegar, sugar, etc. very interesting to see this done!

@caseymouthorp6270 2 года назад

I usually add the tomato paste towards the end because it reduces quicker with less chance of scorching vs adding it early and cooking down further. Also peel side down when cutting peppers to slow the dulling of your knife.
