The easiest ferments I’m trying this summer

Hi Reader!

Garden season is upon us, which means it’s about to be overflowing-countertop season too. 😂

And while I love canning, sometimes I just do not have the energy to drag out all the equipment, babysit a canner for hours, and process everything immediately before it goes bad.

So in this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about 5 easy ferments I’m trying this summer that actually feel doable for real life. You only need a few simple products to get started.

We’re chatting about:

• simple refrigerator pickles
• sauerkraut for beginners
• fermented salsa + hot sauce
• kombucha
• easy veggie mixes for random garden extras

I’m also talking honestly about:

• mold fears
• food safety worries
• what’s normal vs. not normal
• how long ferments actually last
• how to start without fancy equipment

One of my favorite things about fermenting is that you can do tiny batches. One jar. One recipe. One experiment at a time.

No perfection required.

If you’ve ever been curious about fermenting but assumed it was only for hardcore homesteaders with crocks lining their basement shelves… this episode is for you.

Listen here:

And if you already ferment things, come tell us your favorite recipes in the Facebook group because I’m always looking for new ideas to try this summer.

Talk soon,
