You'll love this delightful mix of savory and spicy flavors featuring jicama and corn.
1-1⁄2 Tablespoons (22.5 ml) Celtic Sea Salt
2-1⁄2 cups (592 ml) filtered water
1 lb (450 g) jicama*, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 cups (474 ml) fresh corn kernels**
1 cup (237 ml) loosely packed cilantro leaves
1 Serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 small purple onion, diced
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
2x large stainless steel, glass, or ceramic mixing bowls
Le Parfait Familia Wiss Terrine or Screw Top glass jar 1L (32 oz)
ChouAmi device
Dissolve the Celtic Sea Salt in the filtered water to make the brine.
Place the rest of the ingredients in the other bowl. Mix well.
Pack all ingredients into the Le Parfait glass jar.
Pour the brine into the jar until there is enough to cover the vegetables by 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Assemble ChouAmi onto the jar according to directions. Allow to ferment for 7–10 days in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight. Check every few days that there is water in the moat, and top off as needed.
When ready, remove ChouAmi and wipe the rim of the jar with a clean cloth. Make sure the Le Parfait sealing cap and screw lid are both clean with no brine, salt, or acid, and place on the jar. Store in the refrigerator.
*Unlike the potato, the skin of the jicama is inedible and must be removed.
***If possible, use corn that is certified organic and non-GMO.

Interest in making my own ferments was renewed when receiving ChouAmi’s recipe book. The recipes are simple enough, clearly and simply explained with beautiful images that even get digestive juices flowing. Recipes printed up clearly. I also appreciated the addition learning materials. My jars are now on the counter now, soon to be tested for readiness.
Thank you, Donna!
We love our recipes too - really appreciate the kind words!
