The result of fermenting jalapeño peppers and lemons in brine for several days :-)

 :o :o :o :o

Gosh Richard, that's amazing!
I think you may have ended up with something far more beautiful and valuable than you intended.

If it's any consolation, I got a layer of mould on one of my tomato ferments. The material below was unaffected and pretty potent.
Just in case Akira's reading, I must mention my experiment trying to ferment English plums
I love Umeboshi plums, so when a friend gave me some ordinary local plums, I tried out salt fermentation (following a similar process to that used by the Japanese).
The end result is piquant and potent. But basically deep purple (from the Shiso herbs) so not very photogenic

Here are my two
The second (muddier) one was from today, and tasted outstanding

You're not going to be pleased about this Ann, but...

Seems that you have a good espresso machine and a good lens?!

A cafe in Hereford has a good espresso machine (plus driver) and...
...the lens is the one in my Google Pixel 6 phone

I was puzzled, until I realised you're heading into Autumn Hans
(here in the UK, we're only a month or so away from sowing our beans!)

Thank you Tim. I must confess that the camera and light source was an Epsom V350 scanner  ::)
