JENIUS, The Spectacular Culinary Adventures of a Sydney Gen Y Raw dark plum jam recipe, fermented with Kefir whey. Back to recipes menu Nicola, one of the participants at a 'Fun. Ferment and Families' workshop commented that this jam was best jam she had ever tasted. See a partially cooked version in the notes section at the bottom of this page. Makes 1 kg of dark red plums 1/2 cup of Australian raw honey 2 teaspoons of Kefir whey 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic sea salt 1/8 teaspoon cardamom 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves Wash the plums well, discarding any that are overripe or damaged. Transfer the plum jam mixture to clean jars, pressing it down with a wooden spoon to remove air bubbles. NOTES The kernels are high in vitamin B17 and can be ground into a flour and mixed in with the jam; just remember to extract the kernel from the shell. This makes a jam that is liquid rather than thick. The above recipe may be modified to create a set-jam by the following method.

White Plate Fermented Fruit Kvass You are looking at a close-up photo of a 1-day old kvass. I’m guessing that 99% of you are thinking: “Errh, KVASS … what!? Is that another new and complicated health trend?!?” Kvass is a russian fermented beverage traditionally made with beets, whey and rye bread. It is a very easy recipe with few ingredients and short preparation time (yes, 48 hours is actually short, for being a fermented beverage). I have learned this fermented beverage technique from the inspiring author and whole food pioneer Rebecca Wood. If you like this recipe you probably also love kombucha, which we have a recipe for in our upcoming cookbook. Fermented Fruit Kvass (Fermenting technique from Rebecca Wood) 1 large glass jar Make sure to always use organic ripe fruit when fermenting. 1/4 of a large glass jar of mixed organic ripe fruit (we used fresh peaches and blackberries) 1 tbsp unpasteurized honey 1-inch fresh ginger, peeled pure water to almost fill the jar (you get best result with filtered or mineral water)

What We Learned From A Year Without Food From A Grocery Store By Rachel – dogislandfarm.com I can’t believe it’s been a year now since we started our year without groceries. We learned a lot in that year. We are definitely healthier, but also we’re happier. Our relationship with each other is stronger as we’ve had to learn how to really work well together. When we first decided to do a year without buying food from the grocery store, convenience stores, box stores or restaurants we thought the challenge was going to be really difficult. But as time continued onward we started to get into the groove of things. We met a lot of great small family farmers and built relationships with them. About 6 months into our year we realized that it was pretty easy and that we wanted to have more of a challenge. We were so far behind on planting due to Mother Nature refusing to cooperate that I was worried we wouldn’t have anything to eat fresh. On the plus side though we learned first hand what we should have in storage in case of emergencies.

Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers - Review - The Day I Discovered Something Fishy At The Captain's Table ! Introduction We first bought Birdseye Salmon Fish Fingers a couple of months ago. It wasn’t a product that we had seen advertised and they weren’t on our shopping list either. They were simply something we “discovered” whilst looking for something tasty for our baby boy whilst shopping at Asda. He doesn’t really seem to like eating meat but enjoys fish … so when we saw 10 Birdseye Salmon Fish Fingers were only £2.50 we bought a box for him to try. Birdseye Salmon Fish Fingers My dad refers to these as “posh fish fingers” and they are certainly different to the other fish fingers that are found in the frozen foods section of the supermarket. So what is a fish finger made from salmon actually like ? However, anyone who knows their fish fingers will know that the breadcrumb coating is just as important as the fish and Birdseye seem to have perfected the art of creating a wonderfully crisp but tasty breadcrumb. So there you have it. Or is it ? Please, read on ... Gray Contacts Birdseye …
