Good naturally fermented pickles . . . i.e. lacto-fermented pickles . . . are as close to a perfect pickle as I’ve ever tasted.

I wanted to learn how to make these mouth watering wonders. And I did! This is how . . .

This year . . . like most other years . . . I planted a variety of hot peppers in my garden.

Because peppers are a low acid food they need to be pressure canned.

Canning green beans is just about as easy as growing them. They are a great starter crop for a new gardener and they are also a good vegetable to learn how to pressure can with.

I have a bazillion beans in my garden. I'm literally picking them by the gallon. What to do with all those beans . . . besides eat them right up, of course . . . ? Dilly-'em.
