I’ve yet to try fermenting but I’m starting to feel like it’s something that I should be doing and that when I finally do take the plunge I will love it.
Thanks for sharing.

  That is exactly what happened to me. I thought it would be a lot harder, but I have learned so much in such a short little while! It is a great skill to have. Especially if you have a garden. We are all trying to find ways to preserve foods. This is probably my favorite way to preserve food! Thank you Ricki for stopping by!

    How long do fermented foods last in the fridge?

      They may keep for about 4 months to 18 months, BUT it depends on 1. what is being fermented. 2. Was it fermented in a cool/dark location 3. Brine % 4. Was the food kept under the brine. Fermenting food is environmental. It depends on the environment to be successful. Even then there are still some fails. What I do, LOOK, SMELL, TASTE, TEXTURE. If all of these are okay then it is most likely good. If ever in doubt throw it out! I hope this helps you, Monica!

  It really is simple. There is a very small learning curve for fermenting veggies. Thank you for stopping by Earl-Leigh!
