Corn Relish with Cabbage Lacto-Ferment - Done Mon Dec. 15/14

- 1 package frozen non-organic corn
- 1 small red radish grated in food processor
- 1/2 a small head of cabbage shredded in the food processor
- 1/2 of a non-organic honeydew melon blended
- 1 large non-organic onion diced
- 1 clove of garlic minced
-  juice and pulp from 1/2 non-organic lemon
- 1 1/2 Tbsp unrefined sea salt
- 3 heaping Tbsp of my cucumber/apple mix as a starter

I blended the melon & lemon together with the garlic, salt and some onion to make a watery mixture, then stirred everything together.  This made enough to fill 3 liter mason jars to the shoulder.   I left them in the cupboard for 2 days. I don't usually add a starter when I use cabbage, but this time when they weren't doing much after 2 days I felt it was necessary and added it... However, after this addition they REALLY took off, so I transferred them to the fridge after only one more day...


This didn't taste very good, so to one of my jars I added:
- 1 large slice of celery root (celeriac) grated
- 1 small slice of red beet grated
- 2 small slices of non-organic onion diced
- 2 large slices of frozen cucumber diced
I re-mixed everything together - left it in the cupboard for a couple of days... before putting it back in the fridge...
 to the other 2 jars I added:  Done Tues. Feb. 10/15
- 1/2 small celery root (celeriac) grated
-  1 med. parsnip grated
- 1 small carrot grated
- 1 small non-organic onion diced
- 1/2 clove of garlic minced
- 6 slices of frozen cucumber diced
I re-mixed everything together - It made enough to fill 3 liter jars to 2 1/2" from the rim.  I left them in the cupboard for 5 days... before putting them back in the fridge...
