Ingredients

  • 12 medium carrots or 1 ½ lbs baby carrots - enough to fill a ½ gallon mason jar
  • 3 tablespoon kefir whey or fermented food starter
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • water to fill jar within ½ inch of the topI

Instructions

  • Wash, peel and cut carrots into sticks - pack into a ½ gallon jars. I have started using baby carrots for ease and a 2lb bag fills a ½ gallon and 1 quart jar.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the carrots.
  • Put the lid securely on the jar and leave on the counter at room temperature for 3 - 7 days.You will begin to see bubbles rising and the dill circulating and know that they are fermenting - when the bubbles stop, you know the carrots are ready!
  • Refrigerate after fermentation.

Notes

You may increase the dill (weed or seed) and the garlic if you desire a stronger taste.
This recipe can be easily cut in half and made in a quart jar
