Honey Ferments
Honey ferments are almost too good to be true. Minimal risks of the ferment going bad. Easy and straightforward without any fancy equipment. And the flavors are just to die for whether eaten alone, added to fruit salad, used in dressings or marinades, in teas, topping ice cream and desserts. […]
