I’m Dr. Terri Truesdale and Welcome to The Healthy Happy Hour, a podcast for Christian women, where you become empowered to take back your health authority! Who knew a happy hour could equip you with the wisdom to walk in health and wellness as God intended.  

Today we are going over The Laws of the Harvest. These spiritual laws are as definite as the laws God made for us here on earth– like the law of gravity. You can count on that law when you are facing a cliff edge, or your footing slips while on a roof. You KNOW what to expect! The same expectation applies to our choices.

We usually think of this in the negative sense. We think of paying the consequences for sinful actions or foolish choices, but the laws of the harvest are not just negative. These laws are also positive, very positive, and stand as a promise of blessing for sowing what is good as well as a warning against sowing what is bad.

My hope in this episode is that you will walk away feeling empowered to make the healthier choices for yourself, and living in confidence that God will honor His laws and you will reap the benefits in abundance!

Recipe For This Episode:  Pineapple Tepache

I first learned of this refreshing drink when I was in Cabo, thanks to my friend Elise who took us to a local farmers market (not the touristy ones). I love fermented anything (except kimchi). I cannot wait to get this brewing this summer, and what a fabulous way to make use of the pineapple parts we normally toss out!  Full Recipe Click Here!

Directions: Gather the ingredients. Combine the water and brown sugar in a pot or 2-quart mason jar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Cut off the crown from the pineapple and discard. Wash the outside of the pineapple with filtered water. Peel your pineapple on a cutting board. Cut a slice off the top of the fruit, another slice off the bottom, and then slice the peel off in strips—or use your favorite method, as long as you end up with a peeled pineapple.  Place the pieces of peel into the pot. Add the stick of cinnamon. Cut the fruit of the pineapple into slices or chunks, reserving the fibrous core. Store the fruit for another use. Add the core, whole or in chunks, to the pot and stir. Cover the pot with a dish towel and set it on the kitchen counter at room temperature—it should be easily accessible but also out of the way. The towel will keep out any foreign matter while allowing air to reach the mixture, to ensure a successful fermentation. After 24 to 36 hours, check your tepache. If you see a bit of frothy white foam on the surface of the water, it’s fermenting. You can drink it as is, or let it continue to brew another day or so. If you do not see any white froth, cover the pot again and check it after another 24 hours; the time necessary for fermentation will vary according to the room temperature, ripeness of the pineapple, and other factors. Once your tepache has reached the desired level of fermentation, strain out, and discard all the solids. Transfer the liquid to a pitcher and refrigerate. Before serving, take a test drink. Add more water or sugar to taste; it's not uncommon to dilute with more water. Serve over ice, if desired. Enjoy.
