My large fermentation clay pot arrived today.

Surprisingly, I haven’t placed anything in it yet, but that will happen tomorrow. Today was a bit busy getting the few remaining items that my daughter needed for school. However, I did open the large well packaged box that contained my new fermentation pot. It appears that the handmade clay pot doesn’t have any cracks, and that’s a good thing!
This evening, I roughly cut 12 pounds of cabbage and have submerged the produce in a weak brine solution. Tomorrow morning, I’ll rinse and finally place in it’s final resting place… my 15L TSM fermentation clay pot. This is my largest clay pot by far, it holds 4 gallons.
I’ve included a video on fermenting food on a much larger scale than most homeowners will ever do. I found this video fascinating and quite informative. Enjoy!
In other news…
While school shopping with my daughter. I picked up some “quilted jelly jars”. Tomorrow after church, we’ll be canning jams and jellies. I’m also working on my fourth knitted dreadlock tube, and I started and finished a book on my iPad today. Of course, I hung out with my lovely daughter today also.
Best time is time spent with loved ones like you with your daughter and me with mine. My girl has gone back to work already after the weekend at home – the school where she teaches is about 2 hours’ drive away. Looking forward to next weekend now when she’ll be home again.
