Apples & Coconut Lacto-Ferment

wild apples diced - this was one of my first attempts so I didn't record how many, but I know I used a lot...

1/2 cup desicated coconut

1 non-organic lemon juice & pulp

1 slice non-organic pineapple diced

1 Tbsp unrefined sea salt 

1Tbsp kefir water

I stirred everything together, except the kefir water, packed it to the shoulder of a 1 liter mason jar then added the kefir water, then left it in the cupboard...

Again I decided this was too salty  So after 2 days in the cupboard, when I could see it was fermenting very well I added:

more wild apples diced

1/4 cup desiccated coconut

1  non-organic lemon juice & pulp

1 slice non-organic pineapple diced

Repacked everything into 2 one liter mason jars, filled to the shoulder, added 2 Tbsp of water to the top of each jar (which wasn't needed as most of it leaked out), left them in the cupboard to ferment for another day.  I then packed them down into the liquid and put them in the fridge ... 

Decided it needed something more, so after eating some of it, I peeled and diced 2 non-organic kiwi for each jar, re-mixed everything together, re-vacuum packed the jars and put them back in the fridge...  Later I did another similar batch as follows:

apples with coconut #2

- 20 small - med. wild apples diced

- 6 Tbsp desiccated coconut

- 1 non-organic lemon juice & pulp

- a little more than 1/2 a small non-organic honey dew melon blended

- 1 Tbsp unrefined sea salt 

- 2 heaping Tbsp of my previous mix as a starter 

- 3 slices non-organic pineapple diced

This filled 2 liter mason jars to the shoulder.  I left them in the cupboard for 3 1/2 days.  After this I put them in the fridge...
