So are you eating the marrow for dinner?

Yes it's now all gone

I forgot I didn't cook it originally I my pot, it was the slow cooker but warmed up in the pot.

If you use a fido jar for sauerkraut do you need to weight it still?

One key to a successful ferment is to keep the cabbage under the brine at all times. Any bits that float to the top will spoil and need to be tossed when you skim the top.

YES, if this is what you are using I would not tighten the lid down. I cover with cheese cloth. To much gas will build up and your jar will over flow or explode. If you dont have a glass weight, I have scrubbed a rock and put it in a zip lock bag.

Yes--I bought off amazon some glass weights for when I transfer my kraut to a jar- can you see the blue box on the far left,,, I put 2 weights in each jar to hold the kraut down

Fermented Carrots with Ginger







fi



Wash the carrots and the jar
Cut up the carrots, peel the ginger
Fit them in the jar, you don't want the carrots to be taller than the water level,

Then I desolve 1/2 tsp of salt in my measuring cup or a glass of water, I then an other 1/2 tsp
I filled the glass and poured it over the carrots then added more water until the tops of the carrots were covered,
I used a coffee filter and rubber band to cover it

Ball makes a kit with pusher, springs and vented tops. . Nice for small ferments.
