Interesting, the alcohol content in the hard cider served at La Crêperie de Paris at Epcot is only 3%. Going to brew up a batch of some kind of hard cider here today, probably, and all the recipes seem to be double that. #alcohol#brewing#homebrew
sterilize everything
pasteurize apple juice, if necessary
add sugar/honey/sweetener depending on preference/amount of alcohol desired
ferment (primary only, or primary/secondary) at some temperature that is not hot
bottle
pasteurize to prevent a gory death by shattering bottle
A batch of ginger & citrus marmalade I made today, plus some ginger tea as a byproduct! https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/b081a7fb-3335-4dc2-9e73-2f2d2858e7fd.jpeg
I’ll try to do a write-up, but was mostly flying by the seat of my pants…
5 large (about the size of my hand) pieces of ginger 2 lemons 1/2 navel orange 2.5 cups sugar 1 packet gelatin Cloves, star anise, turmeric
Cut ginger into slices and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain, but save the cooking water as ginger tea, with a bit of sugar added. The last 10 minutes, I added some cloves and star anise to the simmering pot, but the flavour wasn’t really noticeable in the final product, so may want to try adding them sooner. Then puree the boiled ginger in a blender - could probably skip this step if chopped small enough, but I don’t really like chewy pieces in my jam
Cut 1/4" off the ends of the lemons, then quarter them, and slice as thinly as possible, removing seeds as you go (I used the lemons whole, pith and all, surprisingly it wasn’t too bitter at all).
Peel 1/2 orange with a peeler and cut the peel into small pieces. Remove the pith, quarter and slice the orange thinly (I didn’t use the pith this time because it is so much thicker)
Simmer the lemons, orange, ginger, sugar and a pinch of turmeric for 45 minutes. I started with 2 cups of sugar and 30 minutes cooking time, but it just wasn’t thickening up, so I added another 1/2 cup of sugar, gelatin, and cooked for another 15 mins and it turned out nice and thick.
It's my mom, her sister, and my nephews' birthday. - Here some cake for them!

Afternoon Twters! I keep forgetting I've dyed my hair, it's been red for so long, that every time I wash my hands or something, I surprise myself with it! I love it so much. ❤️
I might make an exciting miso honey chicken thing tonight for dinner, because the recipe looks amazing, but I've never done it before so it's a risk!
Does anyone have a favorite vegan corn chowder recipe? I am getting frozen corn and shredded potato as part of my first farm box of the year (spring season is greenhouse greens and stuff from last year). #Recipe#Food#Vegan
Since it's the season, decided to whip up a 'tauh' of Chakawk (Diplazium esculentum). In English, 'Tauh' would simply be 'salad'. #Recipe in alt text.
Tidbit: The ferns we get in these parts are not carcinogenic as opposed to the ones consumed/found in Korea, Japan, and other other countries (e.g. Bracken fern and Fiddlehead fern). There are about 10500 species of ferns. Found it interesting when I first heard about it so felt like sharing.

What's on your meal plan for this week?
I thought it might be cool to see what different meals people have in the week and maybe provide some inspiration for others!
