Experimenting with Fermenting

I did some pickles last month. Someone suggested I try fermenting, too. 
 
So here are my first fermenting experiments. 
 

 

Late September:  

  • (3) jars of red sauerkraut. Red because we had some red cabbages to use. Added coriander because the first recipe I consulted said to. Probably too much. 

  • (1) jar of sweet onions, with a couple of lemons squeezed in to complicate the flavor. 

Early October: 

  • (1) jar Scotch bonnet peppers

  • (1) jar lemon drop peppers, with a little bit of dried lemon peel. 

  • (1) jar cucumber spears with some pickling spices and some fresh dill. Supposedly this will make fermented dill pickles.
