I have question, what does everybody use to do their fermenting in? I don't have the $ for one of those fancy fermenting crocks and am having trouble finding any gallon size glass jars...
What are you fermenting today?

Small batches go in quart canning jars, larger batches go into two quart canning jars. You can buy gallon "canning" jars....jars made by the canning jar companies and sold in that section of the well-stocked farm store that sells canning supplies. Walmart also sells gallon jars as canisters for storing food, I have a few. Some people have found crockpot crocks (without the electric part) at places like Good Will for just a few dollars.

I started my first batch of ketchup. Smells super yummy! Can't wait to taste it!

Which recipe did you use? Let us know how it come out. I gotta make some and haven't been too happy with results so far.....I must admit that commercial ketchup and bbq sauce is yummy with the HFCS so I really have to buckle down and work on this. I have been ketchup-free for a few years now and I miss it. Still use a bit of bbq sauce on occasion (small amounts, maybe a bottle a year) but need to get on that project, too.framing fowl said:

Ah, here it is: Fermented ketchup from Nourished Kitchen. I haven't tasted it yet other than before I put it in the jar to ferment but it tasted like ketchup to me. Tomorrow morning will be the third day. I used the honey in it. It looks quite a bit different from the Nourishing Traditions recipe.
