When I first learned about how sauerkraut was made, I thought it sounded gross. How the heck can you leave food out on the counter to spoil without getting sick? So many people talk about how fermentation is dangerous, how fermentation can make you sick, how fermented food causes food poisoning, but is that even true?

Most strawberry syrup recipes call for cooking the strawberries, which loses the fresh strawberry flavor. In this video I show how I slow things down and let nature help us out. I make this raw, lightly fermented strawberry syrup in just a couple days. It's so customizable, it works with nearly any fruit. I even run out to the garden and add some rhubarb at the last second.
