@Nick Adams yeah totally agreed. The recipe for umeshu in preserving the Japanese way calls for quince so there are definitely creative possibilities! Pawpaw…?
Hey I'm Nick. I enjoy long walks on the beach, and in my free time, I teach people how to eat mold. Pictured: a deranged man (right) with a jar of pinto bean and ancho chili miso (left).
Sam here, homebrewer and koji grower. Looking to meet more obsessive hobbyists. I am most interested in better using the products of fermentation in cooking — otherwise why the hell else have a gallon of miso or shrimp garum?
