First try - Check!

I decided to give it a shot and try today! Got my beets and turnips and - just to be adventurous - I have also bought couple of small onions and added them to my project! Of course - got the water as well! 

Just brought from the store - Turnips...

...And Beets!

After washing my veggies, I peeled their skin off and sliced them! I also prepared the onion, but - I think due to its size (very small) - I totally forgot to picture that moment;-) Hope I can be forgiven for that! As I am pretty sure it won't be the ONLY time i will be doing this, I will make up for it the next time!

Sliced Turnips

Sliced Beets

Finally Mixed Together! 

After combining both vegetables, I have put them into Mason Jars:

In Jars!

Now I have mixed the water with Sea Salt. Since my jars are smaller than the size from the recipe, I have adjusted the math, and mixed 3 cups of Water with 3 tablespoons of Salt. Then, I have poured the water - 1 cup into each jar and topped it off with the rest of pure H2O (the recipe called for quart sized jars and - unfortunately - I have bought pint sized ones). 

Final result looks like that:

Beets & Turnips inside! Two of the jars have onions in - just to give it a try!

Now I have put them in a warm room with temperature above 72 degrees F. They should stay there for the next three days and the whole FERMENTATION process should begin! Will keep you updated on how is it going!

Thanks for checking my blog!
