Grey Celtic Sea Salt
INGREDIENTS:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Dissolve salt in water.
- Place the carrot sticks in the jar and pour the liquid over the carrots, leaving 1-2 inches headspace.
- If necessary, weigh the carrots down under the brine to keep them submerged.
- Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.
- Culture at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure.
- Once the carrots are finished, put a tight lid on the jar and move to cold storage. The flavor will continue to develop as the carrots age.
