China Voodoo 2023 Grow Greenwood & Kasturi

[ericthered]

I've been following your carotte method thread, making cavendish from a carotte has me intrigued!

- I'm going to assume that numbers 1, 2, 3, & 4 are each separate jars in the same 4 hour pressure cooker run. Are the jars sealed in the pressure cooker?
- Did you slice or break up the carotte before putting it through the process?
- What is the desired effect of the olive oil?
- If you've had the chance to try them all, which one is your favorite?

My pile of green leaves didn't change much until the garage warmed up last week. I had so much writing to do for school last week that I didn't even look until Friday. There was some that dried green on the top, and the rest was quickly browning in a not so good, overly moist way, so I made it all into hands and now I'm fire curing it all at once. Light firings with juniper, pine, and white cedar.

A different kind of stalk curing

That's what happens when you cure in a garage with an automobile. The fruit has absorbed the color of the car!

Didn’t know about a Round Red….

It's usually for cigarette, but in this case, pipe.

Oh. You meant the tomatoes. Lol

Beautiful Kasturi.

I'm letting the Greenwood dry out slowly outside. The Kasturi is crispy, and I'll be moving it back outside to rehydrate enough to touch.
