Ingredients

  • 4 smalltomatoes
  • 1bell pepper
  • ½white onion
  • ½lemon or lime ( lime is more ideal)
  • 1 clovesgarlic (depending on preference)
  • 1jalapeno (you can leave this out if you are making this for the kids)
  • ¼ cupchopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoonssalt

Directions

  1. 1

    Dice tomatoes- try to get as much of the juice in the bowl as possible. If your tomatoes aren't that juicy, you could always add water later.

  2. 2

    Chop remaining vegetables and add to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Squeeze in lemon/lime juice.

  4. 4

    Add 2 tsp salt and mix well.

  5. 5

    Add salsa to a wide mouth mason jar and place weight on top, pushing down well, making sure the vegetables are submerged under the brine.

  6. 6

    Cover jar with fermentation lid or a loose lid. You want the gases to be able to escape without allowing anything in, like gnats.

  7. 7

    Leave on the counter at room temperature for 2 days to allow the good bacteria to take over. If your house is really warm, it may only take one day to ferment.

  8. 8

    Throughout the fermentation process, it is good to check your vegetables and make sure they are still submerged under the brine.

  9. 9

    Once, it is fermented to your liking, enjoy and keep stored place in the fridge for 3-4 months.
