How to Prepare Fermented Carrots [Vegan]
-
Sterilize jars: Bring approximately 4 cups of water to boil in a saucepan or teapot. Carefully pour half of hot water into each jar, gently swirl (hot pad recommended) around and then discard water.
-
Wash carrots, trim ends and cut into sticks the length of the wide part of the mason jar (about 4 inches). Place half of carrot sticks in each mason jar, standing upwards. They should fit snugly.
-
Stir together water and salt. Doing this in a large measuring cup makes it easy to pour into the jars. Pour half of water into each mason jar until it reaches about 1/2 inch from the lip of the jar. The carrots should be completely submerged.
-
Top each jar with a lid (screw on loosely) and place on the counter in a place they won't be disturbed. Avoid direct sunlight. The ideal temperature is 60-70 degrees F.
-
Let sit for 5-10 days. Every 1-2 days unscrew the lids to let pressure escape. If a carrot pops up above the salt water line, simply push it back down (with a stainless steel utensil).
-
After 5-10 days, transfer jars to the refrigerator, including salt water. To eat, simply grab a few with a clean fork, rinse under water and enjoy!
Notes
Store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 6 month.
