Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Never tried it, but I would follow the recipe for lac-ferm ginger in NT. They are similar in texture anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 > Let us know how it turns out! Yes. Please let us know. I can't help wondering if it will turn out at all. I half expect it to turn into a gelatinous goo because its carbohydrates are in such a different form than most other vegetables. One thought though, if it doesn't work with raw jerusalem artichokes, try cooking them first a la fermented potato recipe in NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 thanks, jessica and scott. now to find some! i'm curious because my aunt used to have a friend who would make j.artichoke pickles and relish (kinda like chow chow), and my aunt loved them. (and since my aunt is diabetic, i would love to make them for her.) > I can't help wondering if it will turn out at > all. I half expect it to turn into a gelatinous goo because its > carbohydrates are in such a different form than most other vegetables. my aunt says that the pickles were crunchy, like water chestnuts, except maybe more so. ??? she swears that they were raw. and she never experienced any " horrendous, foul stenches " <g>. > One thought though, if it doesn't work with raw jerusalem artichokes, try cooking them first a la fermented potato recipe in NT. which brings up another question i've had: why are the lactofermented beets in NT cooked? thanks-- allene in conway, sc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 thanks, wanita. i just hit the motherlode of jerusalem artichoke recipes and discovered that the pickled version is a southern tradition called " artichoke pickles " . they seem to be prepared like cucumber pickles. before we spend any on shipping, let me call the extension agent tomorrow to see if he can track some down for me. i'll let you know. and, either way, i'll definitely post the winning recipe! thanks again-- allene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
