How does the color fare?

So far no downside, but have only consumed one liter.

Would you consider fermentation? And if so by what method?

 

[Durgan]

Juicing is my method of preserving.I have about 350 liters of various and consume about two glasses daily. Usually open two jars and mix in a drinking glass. In Branford there is access to all plant produce. Pressure canning for long term storage. Only ferment sourkraut when I make it. Apples fresh pressure canned make a superb drink. I do make tempeh periodically. I have almost an unlimitedof possibilities, and try to keep a wide variety.
