Spoiled Rotten Vinegar

Spoiled Rotten Vinegar Celebrating the uniqueness of each season’s harvests in small batch vinegar, hand crafted in the oldest traditions. The how and why.

My study of old world traditional foods and their preparation began in the professional kitchens I used to work. Soon my desire to create a simple element to accompany or enhance a menu item became an obsession as my research for recipes and techniques led me to the histories. In an era and culture where food was abundant and preserving unnecessary I was enchanted by the sincerity and dire need th

ese methods and techniques had been born. Now considered a condiment or garnish these once life sustaining foods and methods impressed me to pursue and maintain their tradition. After years of study and play, refinement gave way to the simple language of the food I now host in it's own creation. To give my recipes as much historical value as I try most of the ingredients I use are organic and as local as possible. The recipes are created seasonally and the methods used are natural and traditional. The only additive used is my help in getting a fruit or vegetable from the earth into a crock or jar. A tasteful experience where the flavor and texture are accompanied by the layering of time, bacteria, heat and/ or pressure. I invite you to indulge your senses by experiencing the reason and purpose of a recipe. The story and reason of your food.

Fig-Glazed Winter Squash ~
Pam Spittel of created this delicious recipe a few weeks ago and I want to share it.

I love the use of fig jam which makes a decadent and flavorful glaze for the squash. Red Kuri is one of my favorites but I enjoyed this recipe using Delicata.

You can find the link to the recipe in bio and in our bio.

If you’re interested in preparing this seasonal dish head down to tomorrow where you can find all the squash and the vinegar too!

I’ve made taqueria style carrots & jalapeños escabeche before but I’ve never lacto-fermented this particular condiment.
While reading a book on fermenting by a duo of prominent authors I came upon a recipe for carrots which reminded me of aforementioned escabeche. Although the recipe will have a different flavor profile it made me hungry and curious so I decided to give it a try. And I tried my best to stay as true to the recipe as possible.
Although I am excited to enjoy the results which seem to be promising I think I’d like to try a batch modeled after the condiment I find in taquerias.
If I see you at the farmers market tomorrow I’ll give you a jar to try.

Celery Vinegar

The primitive way which we make our vinegar* is very intentional although I do play with more modern methods and new recipes for fermenting vinegar and foods at home. Inspired to play with food again this year I’ve been digging through my boxes of gear looking for tools misplaced or forgotten since our move in 2019. I came upon some air pumps acquired a few years back when I was learning about rapid oxidation and decided to put them to use.

When I read Noma Guide to Fermentation one of the recipes which peaked my curiosity was for a celery vinegar. Unfortunately, at this time I had lost interest in using motorized equipment to assist in or encourage fermentation, so I never pursued the recipe, but my renewed inspiration to play has also challenged me to look at some of my old opinions.

🤓Varietal & method based on Noma Guide to Fermentation.
🤫Ingredients & ratios based on my inability to follow direction.
💥Primary reason I finally attempted this project is backsaw had some super fragrant celery a few weeks back. It was great stuff.

*We do not add yeast to our primary ferments when making alcohol. We rely on the naturally occurring yeast from the produce and environment. Risky & unpredictable? True, but this is how each batch of our vinegar is made. By what nature produces and provides; by chance and aided as little as possible.

On April 27th I posted a project I had started using beets and Cara Cara oranges. Someone I know commented they’d be interested to hear how it turned out.
10 days later I gave it a taste as I was breaking it down into smaller units for cold storage and to hand out.
The best part of this (IMO) are the thick slices of oranges packed between layers of the sliced beets. The beets are nice in textured and mild in flavor but the oranges had transformed and are quite tasty. Any bitterness from the rind has been mellowed and the remaining flavor highlights the brine, tarragon, and pepper.
The low salt brine drinks like a kvass and has a wonderful flavor.
Would be appropriate to chop the beets and orange and mix with fresh herbs to create a relish.
