Breakfast for dinner tonight. Extremely alcoholic OJ with a splash of grapefruit. The key is we used our very early season homemade maple syrup. Had a warm spell and got a good run, I made about a pint. Delicious vanilla, caramel, and light maple notes. We're in a cold snap again but I can't wait for the trees to wake back up!

Finished the fermented hot sauces.

The jars with the green (jalapeño, Serrano) and a couple habaneros has been done a couple weeks and I been through two bottles already. Thats the darker bottle.

The orange sauce is mostly habanero, and I just blended it today after about a week and a half of fermentation.

Both are awesome.

That looks great! My morning eyes deceived me with what was in your colander, at first I saw shrimp heads. My mind was asking, is he making his own msg?

Do those ball tops let off extra CO2?

Do those ball tops let off extra CO2?

Yes. The rubber ones are like baby bottle nipples for wide jars. They burp themselves. The plastic Ball lid also has a silicone flap that allows it to burp itself.

Nope. That comes in a bag, and I keep the Anchovy paste in the freezer.

This was last month. Nitrate free smoke “kinda corned” beef. It was a full choice brisket on the smaller side at 8#. Smoked quick at like 5 hours. Very very good IMO.

Then lamb three ways for Easter. That was super good. One each of curry, rosemary garlic, and a pretty plain one with some garlic powder pepper and salt. No finished pictures.
