oh right into the jars covered with boiled brine and sealed tight for a long lasting pickle If the cuke is covered in brine and sealed up tight, I'm pretty sure it can't ferment. A fermented vegetable has to have time to form lactic acid and give off carbon dioxide. A sealed jar will not allow this...

Thanks from the bottom of by heart Barry for all you have taught me. You are a man among boys and I will always admire the desire and ability you have to share one of your loves. Heck I think you loved us more than your wives :shock: . I hope you will not fade away my friend.

That Salame looks incredible. Noooo comparison with your method and and cured meat with the Umai bag. I may have found a way to fridge cure, but the standard method in this case will always win out. Stupendous indeed.

A buddy gave me some ghost chili seeds. They are now about 4" tall and ready to move to the garden in a few weeks.

Not sure what I will do with them but I bet the deer only try them once :mrgreen:

Coppa finally ready. Began January 11, sliced April 27. 35% weight loss. More fat than I anticipated too but tastes delicious indeed. The ends were much drier and excellent snack meat. This middle portion will be delicious on a sandwich I do believe. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c37/davezac/ima...

I bought the Charcuterie Kit Andrea. It is indeed much longer than advertised. The wait will hopefully be worth it though. I'm not going anywhere :)

31% weight loss so far. It is taking much longer than anticipated. Been about 10 weeks so far. Hopefully 3 more weeks I will hit that magic 38% !

Thanks for the tip Rudy. I did weigh the meat so I'll definitely go by the loss. Looking forward to it.

Hey Guys Here is a Link to where I get my Farmers Cheese, I have Purchased it a Meijer's in the past but found it was easier just to order it from the source. http://www.andrulischeese.com/ My grandma and mom taught me to use this harder style farmers cheese. I can't make a pierogi now (or eat one)...

I really have no idea. I have to believe, as you suggest, it will be long gone before it's time.

I actually still have some salami from our original project A in my fridge. It hit it every few months. It's been at least two years and it's fine.
