Some Fermented Recipes I Want to Try

I love fermented foods, and I know the most economical way to eat them is to make them myself. However, I haven't been successful so far.

The latest issue of Paleo Magazine has a recipe for beet kvass, and recommends a nifty little device called a Pickl-It jar that is supposed to have fermentation down to a science (doesn't work with kombucha, unfortunately). I'm thinking these are worth the initial investment since I seem to suck at getting this fermenting thing down.

So basically, the point of this post is to share some links for when I save up to pick up a Pickl-It jar.

Pickl-It Jars
As far as I can tell, they only sell these through their website. Which is a bummer, since I have an Amazon gift card with just enough left on it.

They also have a blog with lots of recipes such as fermented mayo, fermented ketchup and many more.


Water Kefir and How to Make It
I ran across this article and am looking forward to trying it. I love the fizz of store-bought GT's Kombucha, but can't seem to replicate it.

I am very excited to tell you about a beverage that I have been making for our family for a couple of months now. It’s called water kefir. The best way to describe it is flavored soda minus all the processed sugar, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Water kefir is nature’s way of making soda and by far, one of the healthiest and easiest to make at home.

Beet Kvass
This isn't the one from Paleo Magazine (which seems simpler), but I love this blog and will go to this recipe if the first one doesn't work out.
