Don't squeeze the bag or you'll get more solids in the whey which you don't want. The liquid (whey) you get will keep in the refrigerator in a covered glass jar for a long time. The solid remains of the yogurt can be used as a cream cheese or sour cream substitute.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-3839728369478079242016-09-03T07:59:20.676-05:002016-09-03T07:59:20.676-05:00Ok, I finally had the chance to come take a look. ...Ok, I finally had the chance to come take a look.

Because this fermented "kimchi" doesn't have any vinegar in it, it has no vinegar-y smell . . . even when a little of it burbled over out of the jar while I had it sitting on the counter. But I can understand why he wouldn't like the "fermented" flavor either. So, yep, maybe you'd better wait until he's working out of state! ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-64102527643075012182016-08-18T10:26:20.466-05:002016-08-18T10:26:20.466-05:00I wonder if it would be good with zucchini instead...I wonder if it would be good with zucchini instead of cukes?Heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-45291614373728277332016-08-18T00:12:28.238-05:002016-08-18T00:12:28.238-05:00Mama Pea,

He can smell the vinegar a mile away....there's no hiding it on him. The man hates anything pickled :-( I grew up on fermented/pickled items. Is there away to ensure he wouldn't find it if I made it?? Suggestions?? LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe!!
