- Mince the cilantro, green onions, and jalapeño; add to the pineapple.
- Mix in sea salt, whey or water kefir, and water.
- Transfer to a quart-size fermentation vessel. The brine should come at least 1 inch above the level of the pineapple mixture.

If using canning jar lids, be sure to burp the jars as needed during fermentation.
