Sarah, I tried to make burger rolls using the recipe you posted from a live stream a few weeks ago. They were a marvelous success. I wanted to thank you for giving me the courage to expand my cooking skills. I also planted herbs and vegetables according to the instructions, in fully sun. Wow, the parsley is growing well. I am very grateful for this site and your warm family. Janice, love the “What we eat in a week”. Have a great late summer weekend

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh Bev, I'm so glad you tried out the burger buns! I know I tend to think things are more complicated than they really are and am often pleasantly surprised that the process is much simpler than I'm made it out to be. Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind comment!! :)

My mom used to make fermented crockpot pickles using grape leaves to line the bottom and all around the big crockpot that she had, my dad and I always snuck by and dove our fingers in the crockpot to grab a pickle when mom wasn't looking!! They were so good! Thanks for posting this.

I think you would love those, too! Especially if you have grape vines and have plenty of grape leaves (I can’t remember if you do). They are a fermented pickle, too!

@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Just went out and snagged what cukes I could find. I was going to ask if you guys ever planted dry beans to grow for more dry beans? I just experimented with that this year, and I find it is a lot of work. I planted a 20' row on a fence-some pinto and some navy. So far, I got a pint jar full. I'm guessing another cup or so on the bean vines yet.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

@@KateBurt-b4e Yes, we've grown dried beans in the past, but we didn't do it this year. We tried succotash beans and they did well for us, but we would have to grow significantly more plants to actually have enough to feed our family! :)

@@ozarkfamilyhomestead they are already bubbling. My house smells like garlic. lol mine looks a lot like yours did. Canned 12 pints, two half pints, and one 10 oz. Jar of plum jam yesterday too. Wish I could find more apricots. My first batch is already down to three jars. My family loves the homemade jams. I have a jelly making cone, but we like jam the best. I use only about half of the sugar. I use my Le Creuset Dutch oven to cook it in. It keeps the heat in and constant. It cooks in half the time.

[@npl3533]

I love fermenting! I started with kombucha, turned to water kefir and started with kimchi about a year ago. The best thing with fermenting vegetables is, you can change the recipe however you want to (just need enough salt). I make kimchi from pears and add carrots and whatever vegetable looks good and is affordable. And there are actually different kinds of chili flakes, even pretty mild ones. And because I love kimchi that much, I would probably turn the cucumbers into kimchi 😅. Using pears definitely adds some sweetness to it. Maybe your family would like that better.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oooh, I've not heard of kimchi using pears! The one I showed in the video did use cucumbers and we like the taste of it. It's just a bit too spicy for us! :)

[@npl3533]

@@ozarkfamilyhomestead I'm in a German fermenting Facebook group and asked for ideas. You can also use pineapple (but I can't eat raw pineapple) and simply all vegetables and fruits that don't get too mushy.
