Chard Stems, Corn & Yam Lacto-Ferment - made Apr 26 /17

- 1 med. onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 10 slices of frozen cucumber chopped

- 6 small sweet potatoes (my parents called them yams), grated

- 1 pkg. (1/2 of a large zip-lock bag) of frozen corn

- 1 pkg. (1/2 of a large zip-lock bag) of frozen chopped chard stems

- 1 1/2 Tbsp sea salt

- 3 Tbsp of the liquid from my Chard Stems, Cabbage, Squash, Celery root (celeriac)  mix as a starter

I mixed everything but the starter together; mashed it down best I could then I let it sit for awhile to warm, before adding the starter and transferring it to  3 liter mason jars, firmly packed to the shoulder.   We got a couple of warm days, so these were exploding after only 1 1/2 days... I drained off a total of about a cup of the liquid from all 3 jars (which I've kept in the fridge and will use) and then put them in the fridge to stabilize... before moving them down to the basement...
