Brine-Fermented Sauerkraut. Every autumn, there are certain things I am compelled to do.
Perhaps it’s the change in the weather that drives this compulsion; the urgency of the leaves turning and falling; the weakening sunlight. I find myself taking silent inventory of pantry provisions: 4 jars pickled beets, 10 jars apple butter, 3 jars brandied figs… I freeze and can and preserve and dry almost compulsively.
I realize I am not unlike a squirrel, its cheeks full before the waning season. Apple butter is one of my yearly preserving pursuits. I typically make several batches of the stuff through some feat of nesting fever. But again, it’s an urge strong enough to make me not mind the inevitable burns I will get on my forearms while attempting to stir the lava lake of molten apple pulp. This is the same urge I yield to when I make my annual batch of sauerkraut. Sauerkraut might be in my blood. Sauerkraut is one of the easiest things to make in the pickle realm.

How to Make Soy-free Vegan & Paleo Cream Cheese. I’ve used variations of this dairy-free cream cheese in a bunch of my dairy-free recipes like, carrot cheesecake, as butter cream on cupcakes, and drenched over breakfast cake but never created a dedicated post to to it.
It’s one of my favorite things to make so I’m excited to finally be sharing the step-by-step with you all. First – you have to decide what approach you’re taking with your cream cheese. If you want authentic, cultured vegan cheese then you’ll want to use a yogurt starter to create the culture. I use this Vegan and Gluten-free Yolife Yogurt Starter. If you want semi-authentic, vegan cheese that hasn’t been cultured but has a tad less steps, then you can use raw apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice.
For the purpose of today’s post, we’re going to go with the easier method and save the culture fun for another day. Cake Maker to the Stars. Did someone say, injera?
It worked...I'm sorta dumbfounded, but it really did. Sorry for the flash blowout, it's evening time here, I plan to post more shots tomorrow with some wot on top.

Happily, my garlic free pass also applies to fermentation. I let my garlic ferment for a good, long time, but if you are the impatient sort, you could always add a bit of whey to get it going fast. Yield 1 pint of pickled cloves A few notes: Sometimes garlic turns green/teal/blue when it ferments.
