    ...that, I think, is usually the problem, lol (and why in our case, its easier to go to the grocery store and get one of those single serve greek yogurts to start from when we let it go).

      Re: Yogurt Making

      Very interesting. I never thought about making yogurt. Can it be frozen?
      Lately I've been buying Chobani brand Greek yogurt, which I like much better than other kinds. I like to take 1 part softened cream cheese, 3 parts plain Chobani, a few drops vanilla extract, stir with a spoon, add a handful of fresh berries and Voila! Breakfast or dessert. Most people would probably add sugar but I like the tartness.

        FERMENTATION!! Yeah!

        I made sauerkraut. Its fucking delish. OMG. So. much. better. than. a. can.

        I'm eating it with tomatoes "marinated" in sweet Italian dressing.

        I messed around with the recipe--put pickled garlic and peppergrass in it. Mouthgasm.

        I have a hot-sweet-sour-salty batch with red cabbage going right now--it has apples, dried cranberries, and cayenne in it.

          Homemade sauerkraut is De Bomb!

          Have you fermented pickles too?

          I add hot peppers to make them sinfully delish.

              Wait till you try it - the difference between fermented and unfermented pickles is like the difference between store and homemade 'kraut.

              It's basically the same process.

                cucumber + salty water + time = pickles

                Yes?

                      Do they have to be whole?

                      Like...my boss just brought me in some cucumbers, but they are HUGE...like 15 inches long. I don't have anything they will fit in, can I cut them in half? Whenever I look anything up, the pics are all are these perfect little short guys...

                        Yes - I always slice up bigger ones.

                            Mum makes hers sliced when there's extra cucumbers. My stepdad is in charge of the baby cucumber pickles, which are grown and harvested especially for his pickle jars. But mum pickles any left over garden produce.
