      It's probably just because she sounds and appears friendly and is happy about her fermenting. Children don't think the same way men and teens do. Be careful not to project that way of thinking onto him.

    YUS!!!! OMG !!!! I did that for here in the UK and honestly in the time they've been recording it less than 100 cases ... some from before we had fridges so things like "jugged hare" and some granny sent their grandchildren a salami from Italy and the biggest one from Hazelnut yogurt made in a factory when I was a kid ... NONE from home preserved foods. We don't do pressure canning here ( I mean some people do if they can afford a months income to buy a pressure canner and get the stuff) but we use fermenting, vinegar based pickling, water bathing, alcohol, air drying and salting.
    Great video Thankyou so much for making this video xox

      Agreed! I grew up being raised by my Grandma and she was very “old school,” born in 1915. We had a root cellar and canned everything! She taught me early just to scrape mold from top of jelly if it got in, wipe the rim of had and I was never sick. We kept jars of everything for years! She made her own wine in huge Rubbermaid trash cans with a boat or, too 🥰🤣 She could do anything!
      My point is…. I grew up healthier than my friends! (80’s kid here lol)

    Good afternoon! I have once again taken the dive into fermenting. I ditched it some years back when it just didn't work for me. After reading Klaus Kaufmann's Sauerkraut book...The AH-HA hit me. I live in the DEEEEP south. No wonder we didn't grow up on fermented foods! I had it all right, except understanding the Florida weather, cost of electric, and we aint made for 59 to 65 temps- INSIDE that is. I realized my answer was sitting on the spare counter, the whole time. My VINE cooler. It happens to hold the exact temps needed for making ferments, and I won't have to destroy my checkbook by freezing out my family, and wasting good veggies. That baby will keep me in check for my correct temps. Oh, and of course, the best organic veggies 😊I'll be back! Gotta go put up my pickled beets.

    Another video of yours I absolutely love! I've preached this stuff for decades. People that do it love it and introducing it to someone new is almost impossible. I've done this stuff since the 50s. Pickles were the first thing I learned; I saw them made and helped make them several times a summer; and kraut; I could probably make them in my sleep, but it's not something I can just tell people how to do. Love weights and measurements and ph strips. I always teach by using a 'real' recipe.
