Squash, & Celery root (celeriac) Lacto-Ferment - Made July 9/19

- 4 leaves of green cabbage chopped finely
- 7 slices of frozen cucumber chopped
1/2 of a large zip lock bag of frozen chopped beet stems
- 1 med. onion chopped
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1 onion flower chopped
- 2 cups of chopped frozen apples
- 2 med./small celery roots (celeriac) coarsely grated
- 1 large zip-lock bag of frozen squash chopped in the food processor
- 2 Tbsp.  Himalayan pink salt

I mixed everything together, adding the cabbage last after the other ingredients had warmed a little.  After stirring it well, I transferred it to 3 liter and one 750 ml mason jars, firmly packed to the shoulder.  I left them in the warm cupboard over my stove for only 2 days as they fermented very well...  so they are now in the fridge stabilizing and getting ready to be eaten... 

Note: I used the food processor because I wanted the skin on the squash to be chopped finely...  I tried 2 batches.  For one I chopped the squash quite finely before using the food processor and for the other I just chopped it roughly.  There wasn't much difference in the end result.  The skin for the roughly chopped batch did have a few larger pieces left but not many.
