That's pretty neat tropit. I get lost trying to ferment or feed anything. Even my houseplants have to beg for water and look real sad before I remember them. I bet your results are lovely. Sometimes the best Christmas gifts are the ones we give ourselves. I did a similar thing with strainers. We always have fruit on the kitchen bar. I was tired of the plain metal strainers and purchased myself some beautiful enamel ones in different colors.
