Fermented Cherry Tomatoes
 

Finally got the fermented cherry tomatoes recipe posted.
They go fast so you might want to make two batches, or start one a few
days after you start the first one.

Koko, any reason why you couldn't, or shouldn't, ferment the onions and
peppers in the same jar at the same time? And how do you think this
process would work with things like button mushrooms, broccoli, and
cauliflower?

What exactly is the difference between fermenting and pickling?

Right off the cuff, one stops life, the other promotes it.

Fermenting is where a living organism, yeast or bacteria, consumes sugar
in the food and produces alcohol (+carbon dioxide) or lactic acid,
respectively.

Pickling is where you pour vinegar (acetic acid) over vegetables and let
them sit for a few days. The high acid content kills the bad microbes.
The end result tastes somewhat similar, but it's quicker to produce.

And the brine, here, promotes fermentation? Huh.

I do a variety of fements, onions and pepper being among them. I
haven't fermented mushrooms or broccoli yet, but right now I have
cauliflower, jalapenos and cherry tomatoes in the works.
I guess you could ferment, what ever floats your boat, but some
vegetables, texture wise, lend themselves to fermenting better than
others.

Here's more than you'd ever care to know about fermentation.

I ferment for my health, and besides that, it's danged tasty.

The salt in the brine controls which organisms flourish.
Keeps the "rot" organisms down while allowing the "ferment"
ones to do their thing.

Have you ever heard of lacto-fermentation? I'm wondering if this
method of preserving homemade mayonnaise would work? You have to
scroll down. http://www.weedemandreap.com/homemade-mayonnaise/
I was thinking the whey I pour off of Greek yogurt could do the work,
so I asked someone I consider pretty knowledgeable and she said she
didn't think there was enough sugar in the mayonnaise to ferment.
What do you think?

I'd never heard of lacto-fermentation. Since it's lactobacillus
that makes kosher dills and sauerkraut, it should theoretically
work. There's not a whale of a lot of sugar in cucumbers
or cabbage (but there is some, of course).

I've heard that you should leave homemade mayo out for a while,
that the acid kills harmful bacteria.

The upshot is, I just don't know. Maybe someone else here has
an opinion.
