- 1 small head of red cabbage (about 5" in diameter) chopped finely

- 1/2 a large zucchini chopped

- 1 med. onion chopped

- 1 clove of garlic minced

- 2 1/2 frozen kiwi diced

Zucchini, Cranberry, Celery root (celeriac) Lacto-Ferment - Made Aug 6/18

- 1 large zucchini chopped (I grated the skin finely as it was a little tough)

- 1 med/large onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced

-  about 2 1/2 cups of "wild" apples diced

- 4 medium carrots coarsely grated
- 1 lb. of frozen cranberries chopped in half
- 1 medium celery root (celeriac) coarsely grated

- 2 Tbsp Himalayan pink salt
- 3 leaves of fresh green cabbage finely chopped

I mixed everything together; in my large glass bowl, mashed it down best I could then I let it sit for a few minutes to warm, before transferring it to 4 liter mason jars firmly packed to the shoulder.  I left them in the cupboard for only 1 1/2 days, as this space is quite warm with  all the HOT weather we've been having.  Even after such a short time, they were fermenting well,  so I moved them to the fridge...
