I forgot to say what we do!

We do sugar-water kefir. I've done pickles, which dh *loves*. Next on my list is beet kvass, sourdough bread, and then kombucha.

LisaM, were did you get your salsa recipe? I made homemade refried beans, and dd would love to mix that in with it!

I checked it out of the library once and it's fabulous. It's definitely one worth buying, IMO.

From Nourishing Traditions. I can post a recipe if you don't have that book. Basically, you dice tomatoes, onions, & cilantro, add sea salt, hot pepper, and whey and let it sit at room temp for a few days.

I forgot that I've made beet kvass, too. It's pretty tasty and very easy. I want to try making regular kvass. They sell it at the farm where we buy raw milk but it's pretty pricey.

I tried making pineapple vinegar once but it got moldy. I think my pineapple was over-ripe. I hope to make sauerkraut this fall. I'm a little worried about it exploding because that happened to a friend of mine.

Just chiming in - we use sourdough and no commercial yeast for all of our breads and even pizza dough. I ordered my starter from Sourdoughs INternational, http://www.sourdo.com/

This sourdough "experiment" was part of my herbalist education, and I got addicted and use it exclusively.

The gluten is "digested" somewhat by the fermentation and that is why sometimes people with gluten sensitivity can eat sourdough bread - real sourdough, not commercial, which loaves often have baker's yeast in them as well as the sourdough leaven.

We have two happy jars of sourdough going: one actually sour, the other just wild yeast. Love ginger beer! (but it takes a while to make and we drink it oh so fast.) Just finished kimchi: it is delicious. Every fall we do kraut.
Funny story about fermenting: where I grew up, we had raw, non-homogenized milk. So, as far as I was concerned, making yogurt, cheese, ricotta, etc. was just a matter of days (in summer hours) and leaving milk out on the counter... Well, the first time I got a taste for something fermented while in college in the US, I just left out a jug, of well, whatever Wal-Mart carried. And I just could not understand why it would not sour properly for so long...and then it didn't ferment, it spoiled. oh, so young...so naive. It was much later that I learned what is really in the milk bottle in the store oy!
