adding a slice of apple or orange peelings is only used if your product gets too dry, at least as far as i've read. i did it once to rehydrate a bag. i cant say it would be usefull otherwise. and i would think mold could be a problem using wet materials.
twoguysupnorth Reviewed by twoguysupnorth on . cure with apple...apple got mold I read some where on here that if you put a slice of apple in the jar while curing it will give a nice flavor to the pot. I just opened the jars for thier daily breathing and found white mold begining to form on them. I took them out and I don't see any on the pot (which I am super drying as we speak). but what did I do wrong? Should I be changing apple slices regularly? Any help would be appriciated. - Slow - Rating: 5
