After nine years of living off-grid, the couple decided to return to life in a house. [^2]

The couple sold or donated almost everything they owned and packed only a few basic items before moving to the wilderness. [^3]

Their experiment was originally intended to last one year but evolved into a nine-year lifestyle. [^4]

Rachel de Thample, author of The Fermentation Year, suggests fermenting blackberries or plums in sterilised jars with honey to create a syrup that can be used like maple syrup or cordial. [^5]

Kenji Morimoto, author of Ferment, suggests making flavoured liquors with damsons using vodka, the fruit, and rock or granulated sugar. [^6]

Morimoto recommends a Korean maceration technique using equal parts sugar and fruit to create candied fruit and syrup for glazing or cocktails. [^7]

The honey-fermented fruit mixture keeps for up to a year at room temperature but is recommended to be stored in the fridge after a few weeks. [^8]
