Prepare

  • Remove tops and rinse strawberries. Dice into 1/8" pieces or pulse in a food processor 6-8 times.

Ferment

  • Place lid on jar, then loosen by half a turn (to allow excess gas to escape).
  • Leave in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • After a few days, you should see bubbles form, letting you know that fermentation is happening.
  • Taste! When you’re happy with how it tastes, tighten lid and store in refrigerator.
  • Contents may separate from liquid. Stir before using. Lasts about 1 month in refrigerator.
