Homestead Pretty^TM

Special Equipment:
1 gallon/ 4 liter (or larger) ceramic crock, wide mouth jar, or plastic bucket.
1 gallon/ 4 liter glass jug (the kind you can buy apple juice in)
Airlock (From a local beer and wine supply shop. $1.)

Ingredients:
3 cups honey
12 cups water

Process:
1. Mix water and honey in the crock or jar. Stir well, until the honey is dissolved. Cover with a towel and set aside in a warm room for a couple days. Stir twice a day.
2. After 3 to 4 days, the brew should be bubbly and fragrant. Now transfer the wine into a clean glass jug. You can add water and honey in a 4:1 ratio to fill. (3 cups honey and 12 cups water in a 1 gallon jug works perfect.) Cork with an airlock. This lets the air out but not the air in. You can also use a balloon keeping air out without holding pressure in.
3. Leave for 2-4 weeks, until bubbling slows.
4. Drink with cute girls.

This great recipe was inspired from the Book: “Wild Fermentation”, The flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Food. by Sandor Ellix Katz

Q: “how do i make pickles?”

A: “it’s easy!”

Choose vegetables that are good to pickle, suchs as carrots, garlic, onions, turnips, radish, & daikon. I prefer cutting them into rounds. Place cut vegetables in a quart jar with a few peppercorns for flavor. Then in a separate jar make a brine solution with 1-quart water and 2 tablespoons REAL salt (not iodized table salt). Add the brine to the cut vegetables and seal the mixture tightly shut. Place the vegetables & brine in a dark place and check on the pickles everyday. It usually takes 4 days or so to get them tasty. Then store in the fridge. Simple!
