Ferment

I processed a lot of food today. Started the first of a batch of four pounds of beef jerky in the dehydrator, started four pounds of cukes on the road to kosher dills, did a two quart batch of pickled peppers, a quart of pickled okra, and three trays of sunflower seeds roasting.

These were 'mammoth' sunflowers, they get fifteen to twenty feet tall, collapse under their own weight mostly. But boy do they put off seeds.
