Title: Suitable Containers, Covers, and Weights for Fermenting Food
Categories: Canning, Pickles, Preserves
Yield: 1 text

A 1-gallon container is needed for each 5 pounds of fresh vegetables.
Therefore, a 5-gallon stone crock is of ideal size for fermenting about
25 pounds of fresh cabbage or cucumbers. Food-grade plastic and glass
containers are excellent substitutes for stone crocks. Other 1- to
3-gallon non-food-grade plastic containers may be used if lined inside
with a clean food-grade plastic bag. Caution: Be certain that foods
contact only food-grade plastics. Do not use garbage bags or trash
liners. Fermenting sauerkraut in quart and half-gallon Mason jars is an
acceptable practice, but may result in more spoilage losses.

Cabbage and cucumbers must be kept 1 to 2 inches under brine while
fermenting. After adding prepared vegetables and brine, insert a
suitably sized dinner plate or glass pie plate inside the fermentation
container. The plate must be slightly smaller than the container
opening, yet large enough to cover most of the shredded cabbage or
cucumbers. To keep the plate under the brine, weight it down with 2 to 3
sealed quart jars filled with water. Covering the container opening with
a clean, heavy bath towel helps to prevent contamination from insects
and molds while the vegetables are fermenting. Fine quality fermented
vegetables are also obtained when the plate is weighted down with a very
large clean, plastic bag filled with 3 quarts of water containing 4-1/2
tablespoons of salt. Be sure to seal the plastic bag. Freezer bags sold
for packaging turkeys are suitable for use with 5-gallon containers.

The fermentation container, plate, and jars must be washed in hot sudsy
water, and rinsed well with very hot water before use.

CREAMY NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

2 32-ounce cartons plain nonfat yogurt*
1 1/2 cups fat free cookies, ground into fine crumbs
(I use Health Valley Cookies, available in most stores)
1 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons arrowroot (available at natural food stores in bulk)
5 egg whites (2 1/2 eggs or egg substitute equivalent)

* Day before drain yogurt to make yogurt cheese (24 hours is best)

1. Preheat oven to 300 F
2. Moisten fingers with water and press cookie crumbs over bottom and
slightly up sides of 9- or 10-inch spring form pan. Chill while preparing
remaining ingredients
3. With beater or hand mixer, beat yogurt cheese, honey, vanilla, arrowroot
and egg whites until thoroughly blended.
4. Pour filling into crumb lined pan.
5. Bake at 300 F for 60-75 minutes until center is set and surface is lightly
browned.
6. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature; refrigerate several hours
until thoroughly chilled.

It takes almost like a cheesecake but there is a subtle difference.
I had this with fresh strawberries on top. It would probably be
possible to substitute a can of pumpkin filling for 1 of the 32 ounces
of yogurt. Pumpkin is actually a fruit. It is also a member of the
squash family. By substituting pumpkin for yogurt, you would probably
gain complex carbohydrates, lose protein, and exchange one set of
vitamins for another. Overall the balance would improve on the dessert.

Title: Great-Grandmother Lillie’s Turnip Soup
Categories: Soups
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb White turnips
1/2 lb Lean salt pork
1 qt Water
Salt pepper to taste
3 T White cornmeal or polenta
1/4 c Heavy cream (minimum 36 %
Milkfat)

Gently but thoroughly scrub the turnips under cold running
water. Trim off the root ends and the green tops. Young turnips do
not need to be peeled, but they may be peeled.
Cut turnips into slices a little thicker than a quarter of an
inch, set aside.
Rinse the salt pork and put it in a 3-quart soup kettle with the
water. Turn heat to medium-low and bring the water slowly to just
below the boiling point carefully skimming off the scum as it rises.
Lower the heat to a bare simmer and cook the pork gently for about an
hour.
Raise the heat to medium-high and add the sliced turnips. Let
the liquid come back to a boil, skim it again and then reduce the
heat to low. Simmer until the turnips are tender, about 20 to 30
minutes. Discard the pork and skim off any excess fat floating on top
of the broth.
Remove turnips with a slotted spoon. Cut a cup of them into
cubes and rub the remainder through a colander or food mill. Add
both of them back to the broth. Let the soup come back to a simmer,
taste, correct the salt and add a liberal grinding of black pepper.
Take the cornmeal or polenta meal in your hand, and stirring the
soup constantly, let the meal fall into the soup in a thin stream
between your fingers. Never stop stirring or the meal will lump up.
Let simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Leave it to simmer
for about five minutes more, then if you like, stir in the optional
cream. Heat through about two minutes more, then serve at once.
