If it winters over outside in Ohio it should be okay in Texas unless the heat would do it in. Glad you told me it spreads or I would have put it right next to the sage in my raised bed.

this topic is sparking my interest. hummmm........... I do make sour kraut, that would be like fermenting I think??? Pack in jars, with a little salt and vinegar and water. Then put jars lids on and let sit in the dark.

Michelle, you pack in water & salt - makes its own vinegar (brine). Use non-chlorine water. Give it a try.

On July 16th I tried my first pickles. I made two quarts, I tried them two days ago, so good, I am going to leave them for another few days, wanted them a little more sour. Started another two quarts, I added some red pepper flakes to one of them, I like a little heat, we'll see! So easy and with the addition of grape leaves they stay very crunchy.

Gail, those pickles are the best. I cannot seem to go back to canning them, but my problem is refrigerator space!
I'm with you, I love the crushed red pepper. I also add tons of garlic cloves, peppercorns and dill.
I made on batch of kind of mixed with onions, marconi peppers and carrots, no dill or garlic; they are equally as good. |

Yummy, I have never used marconi peppers, anything comparable? I have a porch that is partially insulated, does not freeze over winter but the fall and winter are cool so I think I will be able to store in that porch. I live in Minnesota.

Gail, saurkraut pack shredded cabbage in quart jars. Add one tsp canning salt, and fill with cold water. Put lid on and screw band. Let sit till it is done oozing out. The new variation of this recipe is pack shredded cabbage in a quart jar. Add 1 T vinegar, 1/2t salt and pour boiling water over all. Then put lids on and let sit. Both will ooze out so put in a cake pan or something to catch the liquid. My mom did the first recipe for 60 years, and the variation now for a couple years. A good way to eat it is, fry up some bacon, take bacon out and leave grease. Rinse off saurkraut dump in pan. Get it heated up, add some caraway seed, and brown sugar at the end. Then put the bacon back in it and serve.

Michele - I will definitely try the variation. How long do you leave the variation sit? I think I will get a small batch started tomorrow! Thank you for posting.
