Fermented blueberries are an easy way to get fermented foods into my diet, and into my children’s diet. The fermentation process makes the blueberries taste a bit tart and a bit salty. Don’t be turned off by that! Try them, they are great on yogurt, granola, or just plain!
What you’re going to need is a fermenting glass weight, and lid. I got a set off Amazon made by mason tops and it works great.
You’ll also need – blueberries, salt, filtered water, widemouth jar and a kitchen scale
Begin by rinsing your blueberries
Now. Here’s the part where we do a little math. Take the first number on the scale. On mine, it’s 4 and multiply by 2. 4×2= 8
Remove the jar from the scale. We need to measure salt now- zero the scale with a small container.
Measure 8 grams of salt and dump it into your water and blueberries. Stir it gently until all the salt is dissolved
Allow the blueberries to sit on your counter for 3-7 days. You can taste them and stop fermenting when you like them. I like 5 days.
After you have decided the ferment is completed, drain off the liquid and store in the fridge for up to a month- longer might be okay, but they never make it that long in my house!
Enjoy!
