Daily 'burping'. 10 days in the dark then transfer to fridge w plastic wrap over jar mouth so rings don't discolor/rust.

1 tsp salt, garlic cloves (I used small Torpedo Onions), pepper corns, chili flakes + 1 cinnamon stick (weird but it's delicious).

Crunchy & yummy for 1 year refrigerated.

'Brine' can be reused 3-5 x. New veg only needs 2 days fermenting in dark.

Wow! I'm seriously impressed by the bubbles there Jennifer!

simple fermented carrots

I'm going to try carrots for my second ferment. Just plain peeled and grated. I used a little of the brine from my rutabaga ferment to give them a kick start. Wish me luck! I'm hoping it will turn out a bit like coleslaw, but without the cabbage.

I have a peeler that will cut very fine julienne strips and ferment those. It is an excellent garnish pickle for sandwiches.

Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
