I think using weight will be more precise.<br /><br />Do you add one cup of water per batch, or per 5lbs?<br /><br />Thanks for the update,<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-19180494685257020152011-09-04T08:41:24.055-07:002011-09-04T08:41:24.055-07:00This looks divine.

I think you were making some for your father's birthday. I used your recipe but didn't let it ferment as long. It didn't call for for crushing the cabbage & sounds quite different. I loved the crispy yet wilted cabbage & other vegies. What do you like better about the new recipe?<br /><br />My strawberries (Quinalt Everbearing) are also coming on strong this year. I didn't really expect much of a crop as I just moved the plants to a new location this spring.<br /><br />Thanks for all the wonderful info, tips & recipes!Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-28726238491590291182011-08-30T12:49:30.487-07:002011-08-30T12:49:30.487-07:00Ginny - Our version is like a pumped up spicy saue...Ginny - Our version is like a pumped up spicy sauerkraut...great for warming ones soul in the middle of winter.:)Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-35305262270112938382011-08-30T12:47:58.209-07:002011-08-30T12:47:58.209-07:00Kumi - I have never tried green tomatoes in kimchi...Kumi - I have never tried green tomatoes in kimchi before but would not be at all surprised if it made an excellent addition to the mix. <br /><br />AJK - Thanks for that link, I read all about Nukazuke and it sounds like a very interesting way to keep and ferment vegetables...I might have to check into it some more and try it myself one of these days.Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-88242150552575103072011-08-30T11:37:10.203-07:002011-08-30T11:37:10.203-07:00I've never had Kimchi, it sounds like a winner...I've never had Kimchi, it sounds like a winner..almost like a chow chow< is that close to it? or is it more like a pumped up Sauerkraut?

Then come the spices! I think I will try using the Garlic Chives instead of Garlic this year since I have an over-abundance of the former. The apples and oranges will be used to help make the vinegar that keeps them so long. When I have more Tree Collard to eat off of, I think I'll try making it with that too!<br /><br />I wonder if Beets will make a kimchee with it's sweetness helping the fermentation process, and adding a vibrant color in the process.<br /><br />My next venture is learning how to make Nukazuke. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nukazuke) Definitely an aroma you have to learn to love if you are not raised with it, but I miss having some, plus I have a lot of eggplant that would suit that method well. Just need to find some rice bran now!
