    Lacto-Fermented Peach Chutney

    Lacto-fermentation is among the oldest methods of food preservation, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations. Once considered alchemy, this process mere involves cultivating natural, beneficial bacteria to prolong the life of fresh produce and enhance flavors. Unlike pickling that involves vinegar, lacto-fermentation relies on the natural sugars present in the food, which bacteria then convert into lactic acid, another natural preservative.

    Chutney, a condiment in Indian cuisine, traditionally balances the sweet and the tangy. It's made with various fruits, vegetables, and an array of spices. The fusion of ripe peaches with aromatic spices and a dash of acidity results in a heavenly spread that pairs well with meats like a Roast Leg of Lamb, or as a garnish for an amazing Raw Kale Salad.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 128 Prep Time: 40 minutes Ferment Time: 2-4 days

    • 16 peaches, cored and coarsely chopped
    • 2 cups raisins
    • 2 cups pecans, chopped
    • 3 ½ tablespoon sea salt
    • Juice of 5 lemons
    • 4 onions, finely chopped
    • 4 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
    • 4 hot peppers, fresh or dried, chopped

    How to Make Lacto-Fermented Peach Chutney

    Combine the chopped pears with the raisins, pecans, sea salt, lemon juice, onions, ginger and hot peppers together.

    Place the mixture little by little in your fermentation jar, pounding it vigorously to release the juices.

    Make sure the mixture fills the jar up to 1 inch bellow the top (because of the expansion) and that the extracted water covers the mixture. If not, create a brine of 2 tablespoons sea salt to 4 cups water and add it to  the mixture.

    Press the vegetables and keep them under the brine by placing a plate or a lid on top weighted down by a rock or a jug of water. Cover with a clean towel if needed to keep out fruit flies.

    Place the fermentation jar in a warm spot in your kitchen and allow the chutney to ferment for 2 to 4 days.

    Check on it from time to time to be sure that the brine covers the vegetables and to remove any mold that may form on the surface.

    A good way to know when it’s ready is to taste it during the fermentation process and move it to the refrigerator when you’re satisfied with the taste.
