Instructions
- If using the starter culture, stir together the culture and water. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the ingredients—around 10 minutes. If using kefir whey, add it when the recipe calls for culture.
- Place squash and onions in 2 quart jars.
- Place other ingredients, honey and seasoning and salt in a bowl with a spout for easy pouring.
- Pour mixture into jars making sure that each jar gets equal amounts of ingredients. (some of the seed fall to the bottom)
- Add the Cutting Edge Culture or kefir whey and cover with water, leaving and inch or two at the top.
- Seal the container and let it sit on your kitchen counter, out of direct sunlight, for 3 days. After 3 days, place the in the refrigerator.
- Check the vegetables every day to make sure they are fully submerged in the water. If they have risen above the water, simply push them down so they are fully covered by the water. If any white spots formed because the veggies rose above the water, do not worry. Remember, this isn’t harmful. Just scoop out the vegetables that have the white spots on them and push the rest back under the water.
