So this post will be a tad off the oil topic...but I really want this blog to be about more than oils, I want it to be about my amazing journey in finding all these wonderful things for my loved ones. This one, my dear readers, is about canning. Not just any kind of canning...but fermenting in Fido jars canning.
I know what you are thinking. Its the same thing I was thinking when I first heard of this craziness. Your eyebrows are raised, your face has a slight smirk on it and your mind is thinking "This girl is crazy. No way will I ever want to do this. It sounds gross." That's exactly how I looked at my Sister In Law when she started talking about it. "What the heck is she saying?" along with "She feeds her kids rotten food!?". So I had to start researching this because she does a lot of amazing things for her family and their health that incorporate into their diet, so I couldn't imagine she was feeding them something harmful!
After reading on Pickle Me Too and Its a Love/Love Thing I decided maybe she isn't so crazy. I followed several of their links they had and really delved into this whole thing. By the end of the week I was ordering my own Fido Jars from Sur La Table! Ah! I was totally crazy! Well they finally got here last week and I was able to wash them all and gather my supplies throughout the week and now, I have things fermenting!
I first made Pico de Gallo using a variation of a couple different recipes, and now I'm onto the big stuff! I bought 20 pounds of tomatoes from Bountiful Baskets and started slicing and dehydrating. After they were done I followed the recipe for sun dried tomatoes from The Homestead Lady and I can honestly say not only are they going to be amazing, but they look so cool! I have them steeping on my counter and plan to put them in my fridge where they can last up to a year...but I'm pretty sure they wont go that long ;)
As for my other jars, right now I have carrots, mini bell peppers, green beans and pico de gallo again...because honestly its so stinking good the first jar is almost gone already and its only been a few days! I think I'm going to put my recipe for that up in a couple blogs, so keep your eyeballs open.
I hope you enjoyed this kind of random post, and I can't wait to sit down and write again about the greatness of doTERRA oils and now fermenting too!
