Cucumber, Carrot & Celery root (celeriac) Lacto-Ferment - Made Apr 26/17

- 1/2 a large zip-lock bag of frozen cucumber chopped

- 1 med/large onion chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic minced

- 5 wild apples chopped

- 4 med. yellow carrots grated
- 1 med. sweet potato (my parents called them yams), grated

- 1 med/large celery root (celeriac) grated

- 1 1/2 Tbsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp. of my Chard Stems, Cabbage, Squash, Celery root (celeriac) mix as a starter

I mixed everything but the starter together; in my large glass bowl,  I 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...  I'll move them to the basement later...
