Make   -   (25 min + 4 or more days fermenting)
  1. Trim CELLERY tops and white part. Cut to about 1-1/2 inches long.
  2. Peel CARROTS and cut into about 1 inch lengths. Cut in half lengthwise, or in quarters if quite large.
  3. Select a sterile jar that will fit the vegetables (4 cup). Mix the vegetables and place into the jar.
  4. Bring Water to a boil and take off the heat. Stir in the Salt to dissolve and let cool to a warm room temperature.
  5. Pour Brine into the jar with the vegies. Use some method to keep them under the surface. Cover loosely.
  6. Leave at a cool room temperature for 4 days - or more if you like it more sour.
  7. When to your liking, seal the jar and refrigerate. Always use very clean devices to remove pieces and the ferment should keep for about a month.
NOTES:
  1. Water:

      If your water is chlorinated or needs filtering use bottled water.
  2. Salt:

      This should be unrefined sea salt with no additives. To be sure that's what your'e getting, the best source is a plastic bag from a Korean market - the Koreans know more about fermenting than anyone else.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
