Ingredients

  • ½ cup pearl onions  peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup turmeric root peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup ginger root peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup horseradish peeled and chopped
  • ½ Jalapeño seeded and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 bottle apple cider vinegar large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Divide all ingredients evenly (except apple cider vinegar) into two large mason jars.
  2. Pour apple cider vinegar over the ingredients so that the vinegar is roughly two to three inches above.
  3. Fill a small Ziplock bag ⅓ of the way with water. Place the baggy into the jar and use a spatula to press all the roots/ingredients down as much as possible to make sure everything is submerged.
  4. Tie off the bag or wrap around mouth of the jar. Place parchment paper over the jar and then cap the jar.
  5. Let ferment in a dark area for four weeks. When ready, strain out the roots and whisk in raw, local honey to taste.

Notes

  • Any kind of onion will work for the recipe
  • Chop the vegetables finely so that they can infuse better
  • Make sure to use raw honey (unpasteurized) for the biggest benefits
  • Flavor with honey to taste depending on what you’re using it for (salad dressing, shots etc)
