Celery/Rutabaga/Cranberry Lacto-Ferment: made Sun Aug 23/15

- 14 wild apples chopped - approx 4 cups
- 1 1/2 heads of cauliflower finely chopped
- 3 pkg. frozen cranberries cut in half
- 9 stalks non-organic celery chopped
- 4 small slices of frozen squash chopped ( skins minced)
- 1 med onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 3 leaves of a small non-organic cabbage chopped finely 
- 1 Tbsp unrefined sea salt
- 2 generous Tbsp. of the liquid from my cucumber/zucchini mix as a starter
- 1 tsp of desiccated coconut added to each jar

I mixed everything together; completely filling both of my large glass bowls.  I mashed it down best I could then let it sit for a few minutes, before transferring it to 4 liter mason jars, firmly packed to the shoulder.  I left them in the cupboard to ferment for 3 days, before transferring them to the fridge to stabilize and moving them to the basement... I wanted to add 2 Tbsp (or maybe a little more) of the coconut to the mix, but thought it wouldn't be liquid enough.  However, once I'd packed it I could see there was plenty of liquid, so I added the coconut and mixed it in best I could...  Maybe add a little more after I've eaten some and can mix better if necessary...
