With people in a panic, I'd rather not go out into public anyway, so the Governor's Stay at Home Order doesn't bother me.
I look at it as an new opportunity to try to make something new and further my food skills.
I have started several batches of Limoncello using Meyer lemons, and Arancello using Cara-Cara oranges. Interesting flavors.
Next on the list is Melloncello, which uses the meat of the melon and is pureed and mixed with cold cream before serving.
I've also dabbled in making my own vinegar; pear, pineapple, apple and red wine vinegar. While not difficult, it can be tricky, if you don't keep up with the progression of the secondary fermentation. Again, such full flavors one could not even imagine. Some think the vinegar is much more acidic, but it only has a bolder flavor. The chemically produced vinegar we buy at the store register around 2.0 - 2.5 on the ph scale, where as my homemade vinegar registers a 4.2 - 4.0... 7.0 is neutral on the ph scale. So less acidic, but greater flavors, pineapple seems to be my favorite.
Anyone else delved into any new projects?
