Episode 62 Is Honey Fermented Garlic Safe?

Trying to keep your family healthy over the cold and flu season? On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we delve into the use of honey fermented garlic as a natural immunity booster and offer the information you need to understand the safety concerns behind this practice. 

We share how we came across honey fermented garlic and how it is made. You’ll learn about the multiple factors in the fermentation process of honey fermented garlic that pose a high risk of C botulinum. These include the use of honey, an anaerobic fermentation environment, low alkaline ingredients, and more. 

In contrast to other natural immunity options, honey fermented garlic puts its consumers at risk of developing botulism and is not recommended according to safe food preservation practices. 

Looking for other ways to fend off illness? Tune into our episodes on bone broth and steam juicing.

Wondering how to tell fact from fiction when it comes to food preservation advice? On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we discuss the safety concerns around the recommendation to reduce the amount of water in a water bath so that the water doesn’t cover jars during processing.

We take time to discuss the four things that can cause siphoning in canning and share our best tips for reducing siphoning safely. You’ll leave this episode knowing why you should avoid packing raw foods, how to minimize temperature fluctuation during processing, the best process for removing your jars from processing, and why following the recommended headspace in a recipe is important. We also equip you with the knowledge of what to do if siphoning occurs during processing.
