Squash Cucumber & Celery Root Lacto-Ferment - Made Sep 3/17

- a mix of frozen squash (red kiri, pumpkin, and buttercup) - approx. 4 cups diced
- 11 small. wild Apples cored and diced - approx. 2 cups
- 1 med/large red onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 of a green cabbage (about 4" in diameter) finely chopped
- 4 mature field cucumbers diced
- 2 small celery roots (celeriac) coarsely grated
- 5 Tbsp desiccated coconut
- 1 1/2 Tbsp sea-salt
