Hello Reader,

We’re off to a flavorful start in the #10KJarChallenge with 23 jars and counting!

From bubbling batches of classic sauerkraut to vibrant jars of kimchi, it’s amazing to see what everyone is fermenting. If you haven’t already, head over to the gallery, roll over each image to see what’s inside, and get inspired by jars from around the world.

Here are just a few of the inspiring submissions we’ve received so far:

Theresa's jar is on day 5: "The scent is amazing. I can’t wait to dig in."

Gary fermented ten heads of fresh cabbage, .02 x salt and a little caraway seed, fermented in an earthen crock for 30 days. Yummmm.

Hedwig loves kimchi, how it looks (such vibrant colours), how it smells (it does mellow after fermentation!) and of course the flavours.

Haven’t started a new batch yet? No problem! You can upload a photo of any batch—even one you fermented last year. This challenge is all about celebrating your journey, whether you’re a first-time fermenter or a seasoned pro.

Let’s hit our first big milestone: 100 jars! Once we reach it, I’ll be doing a fun giveaway with fermentation goodies, including a signed copy of Mouthwatering Sauerkraut [+Kimchi], fermentation springs, and gochugaru for your next spicy creation.

Every jar counts. Every post helps inspire someone else to give fermentation a try.

Let’s keep those microbes moving and jars stacking!
