Yes, they are sour, but these cherries are THE cherries you want for that quintessential flavor for all your baked goodies and preserves. Growing sour cherry trees is easy, they are widely adapted to multiple growing zones and come in small sizes, too! Even my hot zone 9 supports a prolifically producing tree. I have more helpful information waiting for you, so come on over to learn more, and please feel free to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/10/16/sour-cherry-prunus-cerasus . . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #californialiving #californialife #gardentotable #urbanhomestead #backyardfarm #farmher #hobbyfarm #smallfarm #urbanfarm #growwhatyoueat #urbangardener #growyourfood #organicgardener #gardentherapy #inmygarden #sunsetmagazine #bhgbestfrontyard #bhgfood #bhgflowers #countrylivingmag

If you want the BEST cabbage rolls (and really, why wouldn't you?), you'll need to have the right cabbage. The ONLY right cabbage is fermented cabbage. Sounds weird, maybe, but so are a lot of the things we eat without batting an eye, so don't worry about it. Thankfully, it's really easy to prepare the cabbage, but you need to plan ahead to allow the fermentation process enough time to occur. They say patience is a virtue, right?! Come on over for the instructions, and there are already a couple of cabbage roll recipes waiting for you on my blog! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/03/30/fermented-whole-cabbage-heads . . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #storyofmytable #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #huffposttaste #bhgfood #inseason #eatpretty #foodwinewomen #cookit #homecookedmeal @mccormickspice #mccormick #homegrownfood #cabbage #cabbagerolls #gardenfresh #fermentedfoods
