Cabbage & Cucumber Lacto-Ferment

- 1 small head of green non-organic cabbage (about 5" in diameter) chopped finely
- 1/2 a large zip-lock bag of frozen cucumber chopped
- 1 med/large non-organic onion chopped
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 2 slices of non-organic pineapple chopped
- 1 Tbsp & 2 tsp. unrefined sea salt
I mixed everything but the cucumber and 2 tsp of salt together; completely filling my largest glass bowl, then mixed the other two items in my smaller bowl before combining them -- REALLY filling the largest glass bowl.  I mashed it down best I could then let it sit for a few minutes, before transferring it to 2 liter & one 500 ml mason jars, firmly packed to the shoulder.  I left them in the cupboard for 4 & 5 days, (the jars seemed to ferment at different speeds) then put them in the fridge...
