  • Hello everyone, this is an attempt to ferment our apples, which are a bit old now in January. The variety is called "Belle de Boskoop" and is not necessarily suitable because these apples are a bit soft. But so be it.
    I will show in one of the following videos what the result of the fermentation looks like and try to use it in a pastry!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ingredients:
    1 lemon
    800g peeled apples slices
    1 slice of ginger
    1 piece of star anise
    3 capsules of cardamom
    3 cloves
    1 cinnamon stick
    600ml water
    15g natural salt
    Preparation:
    1. Squeeze out a lemon.
    2. Peel the apples and remove the seeds.
    3. Mix the apple pieces with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
    4. Put the apples and the spices in a clean glass and pour water over them.
    5. Add the salt, weight the apples down and seal the jar.
    6. During the first 4 days you should open the lid to release pressure.
    7. Ferment the apples for up to a week, depending on your taste (taste every now and then).

    800g geschälte Apfelstückchen
    1 Scheibe Ingerwurzel
    1 Stück Sternanis
    3 Kapseln Kardamom
    3 Nelken
    1 Zimtstange
    600 ml Wasser
    15g natürliches Salz
    Zubereitung:
    1. Presse eine Zitrone aus.
    2. Schäle die Äpfel und entferne das Kerngehäuse.
    3. Um das Bräunen der Äpfel zu verhindern, vermische sie mit Zitronensaft.
    4. Fülle Äpfel und Gewürze in ein sauberes Glas und gieße das Wasser darüber.
    5. Füge Salz hinzu, beschwere die Äpfel und verschließe das Glas.
    6. Während der ersten 4 Tage den Deckel einmal öffnen, um Druck rauszulassen.
    7. Je nach Geschmack (immer mal wieder kosten) bis zu einer Woche fermentieren lassen.

    I got more simple recipe from my Macedonian friend. Just put cinnamon stick, salt and water. Every morning I drink juice and apple. So delicious ~ I make it in small bottle with two apples before it's too sour like vinegar

    Thank you for the video. I use yogurt to ferment my apples, never thought of using salt like a sauerkraut type of fermentation.

    • @gardencookbook
      @gardencookbook  Před 2 lety +1

      It's a little experimental, but it works if you don't use too much salt. Yoghurt is also a good idea.

      I let the apple pieces ferment for a week and then used them. But they can be stored in a cool place much longer in this way.

    Great work. My fermentation experiment is now on.. does this increase the alcohol content of the fruit when juiced and also what do you think will be the shelf life? Thanks

    • @gardencookbook
      @gardencookbook  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you and I'm glad you started the experiment!
      I suppose the alcohol content will probably be higher if you add sugar.
      I let the apples ferment on the shelf for about a week, then put them in the fridge. After that, you can always taste them to see if they meet your expectations.

      @@venksy26 Ah, I see, you make unpasteurized, wild cider. I have no experience with this and can't tell you how to lower the alcohol content.
      As an alternative, you could flavor water kefir with apple juice. It is full of probiotics and non alcoholic. :)

    • @gardencookbook

      I do not know. I think vitamin B12 can be formed during dough fermentation. Grains fermented with Propionibacterium freudenreichii have some. But apples?

      I use rock salt without any additives. Iodized salt, for example, is not suitable. The iodine can hinder the fermentation.

      You mean at the end of the fermentation? Sure. If you let it ferment further, it becomes apple cider vinegar, I think.
