Comment on Wild Black Elderberry Syrup by Larry

Absolutely not. I have Both Elderberry and Poke weed, as a very young plant the poke leaves are good in a salad, but when they reach maturity, both the leaves AND berries are poisonous. That’s why birds don’t even eat them. The bunch of berries on Elderberry may be 9 to 12 inches in diameter like a Queen Ann lace only berries instead of tiny blossoms. Elder berry berries are a very tiny berry where a poke weed berry is about 3/8 inch diameter

Comment on How to make Thick, Creamy Homemade Yogurt with only Two Ingredients by Wendy

Thank you so much for the easy-to-follow recipe! It got me motivated to finally try making homemade yogurt. I was wondering if maybe you can help me figure out where I went wrong. My yogurt didn’t turn out smooth and creamy; it had little lumps and a chalky feel in the mouth. Here’s what I did differently: used 1% milk and added milk powder, and I used smaller jars (8oz). Also, I don’t know how warm my oven stayed during the 8 hrs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Danielle!

I say go for it! If it smells and tastes fine, I don’t see any reason in not trying again! Good luck!

Best,
Sarah

HI Sarah,

I’ve made this yogurt 2 or 3 times and now and have loved it! I went to make it today and nothing happened. I still have milk in my jars. Any idea what might have happened? I’m almost positive I followed all the steps correctly (though I was getting quite confident and admit I did it all from memory). Can I try again with the same milk? I’d hate to waste it all. I just tasted it and it tastes fine. I just capped the jars and put them in the fridge. What do you think?

Comment on Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise by kelly

I’ve done this recipe a couple times but I tweak it, for some reason it has a bitter taste! I always add in a touch of vinegar and lemon at the end and a bit of honey. In theory the honey will be consumed by the fermentation process, it just removes that bitter taste. I only use 1 cup EVOO to the recipe because the vitamix mixes it so well it doesnt need that much oil, and it muttles the strong EVOO smell/taste.

It lasts 8 wks in the refridgerator, which is 8 times longer than without the whey!! hurray for whey!!

We planted Blueberry bushes this year and plan to get chickens when Honey Bear gets the ‘tractor’ built…I need to eliminate sugar from my diet also…there was way too much over the past week….

I, so, enjoyed visiting here and reading about your plans for the day…
