The kimchi turned out fantastic. I wonder how I lived this long without it (I've made it a few times now, but only within the last 1-2 years). If you haven't tried kimchi--you need to try it at least once (after that, I think you'll be hooked).

Great to hear it turned out well CWS :)
 
I'm going to try canning a small batch of Kimchi this week. The cabbage are doing well in the garden. If I can get the 60+ ears of corn in the freezer, plus the 25 lb of pole beans, and the 16 qts of pickles put up, I should have time to do some Kimchi before I have to go back to the farm and pick more beans, corn, and zucchini...wish the tomatoes would ripen--maybe the warm weather this week will help...I just haven't figured out what to do with all the zucchini...chicken feed? No, I don't do zucchini bread, cake, or muffins.

Well, the Kimchi is fermenting. I rather doubt it will make it into canning jars (not a large enough batch and I have to sample it daily). It is tasting darned good. Love Kimchi.
 
My kimchi has yet to make it to the canner. I made another batch yesterday. It is fermenting and tastes darned good. I added a little anchovie paste this time and more liquid. It was a bit drier than I like (the last batch). I really like to peel and seed a cucumber and use the cucumber as the "delivery device" for the kimchi (pack the kimchi in the "boat").
