INGREDIENTS

• 3 pears, peeled and diced
• 3 cups (750 ml) cauliflower
• 2 cups (500 ml) carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 leek, sliced
• 3 tbs (45 ml) ginger root, minced
• 2 tbs (30 ml) salt

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the salt.

Place the mixture in your Mortier Pilon fermentation jar and press. Make sure to leave 3⁄4 of an inch (2 centimeters) of headspace between the vegetable mixture and the rim of the jar. Cover with salt.
