    Hi there! I am new to fermenting, but have been canning fruits for a few years now. I have 4 buckets of crabapples that we just picked and was hoping to find a recipe for relish on line. Now wondering if you have any recipes to ferment these? Thanks!

    I really like the lemon nectarine chutney I based off Nourishing Tradition’s cherry chutney recipe. Also the coconut chutney in Wild Fermentation (I subbed the chana dal for nectarines) is so delicious I had to discipline myself to keep from eating the whole jar in one sitting.

    Can you tell me why I am unable to “Pin” this post to Pinterest? I have tried your Pinterest buttons, but I keep getting this message: Parameter ‘browser_extension_tracking_id was not numeric (was MU2_cnTWdTqZ-1)
    All the recipes look so delicious, and I would love to save them–but it’s so tedious to do 25 recipes individually… Thanks in advance.

      Hi Jan,

      It looks like it may be a browser error. Try clearing your browser (or using a different browser) and see if you can then pin. 🙂

        One other suggestion, Jan. Can you try the Pin it button in the middle of the main photo? If you hover over the top photo you should see the Pin it option appear.

    We have always made our own tomato chutney’s/relishes cooked over the stove and really enjoy the flavour but want to ferment too. Can I just make as usual – let cool – add whey and ferment for a few days?

      Hi Jean,

      You can definitely experiment with different fruits in your chutney. Watch your fermentation times, some may ferment much quicker than others. Enjoy!

    The Spiced Pear Chutney picture reminds me of the pickled pears I made earlier this year. They are not fermented, the one time I tried to ferment it didn’t turn out, lol. I have been considering buying some fermenting lids from Amazon and trying again.
