Culturing/Fermenting and Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted: Thu May 03, 2012 2:07 pm
I met with a friend who taught me how to culture vegetables but after doing some of my own research I think she may not understand the culturing process.
She guided me to 1) fill the glass jars with an assortment of chopped veggies 2) fill the jars half full with unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with some freshly squeezed lemon juice 3) fill the remaining half with water 4) add salt and shake up
In the internet research I did, NOWHERE did I find anybody suggesting to use apple cider vinegar to culture vegatables. We also did not add any kind of starter culture.
Are my jars of veggies going to ferment properly? and if not, is there any way of saving them?
Thanks for any advice!
