Combine the apples, cauliflower, carrots, onions and ginger together.
4 apples, 4 cups cauliflower florets, 4 carrots, 8 green onions, 3 tablespoon fresh ginger
Place the mixture little by little in your fermentation jar, pounding them vigorously and sprinkling some of the sea salt as you go along.
8 tablespoon sea salt
Make sure the mixture fills the jar up to 1 inch bellow the top (because of the expansion), adding more if needed, and that the extracted water covers the vegetables entirely. If not, create a brine of 2 tablespoons sea salt to 4 cups water and add it to the vegetables.
Press the mixture and keep it 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 mixture to ferment for 3 to 5 days.
Check on it from time to time to be sure that the brine covers the mixture 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. It’s ready when you’re satisfied with the taste.
