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.

I had made some fermented pepper sauce and these bottles worked out perfect for the storage of the sauce and the left over brining liquid. It works out well for pouring the sauce on to food or in recipes. Thank you.
Thanks for another glowing review, Susan!
We think Le Parfait provides the best glassware in the business and are happy that you love their bottles - we love 'em too!

This brilliant invention makes fermenting fun and easy. Love that the material is stainless steel — no worries about food interactions and it’s dishwasher friendly. The jars are also high quality with a wide mouth that facilitates easy filling.
Thank you, S!
We appreciate your kind words so very much! And thank you for being a ChouAmi customer!!!

I purchased these because of the safety aspect of using a safe form of glass to ferment in. The process has worked very well. I have fermented a batch to make homemade sriracha, cultured mustard and salsa verde. All have turned out great. The taste of each is wonderful. I just started the fermentation for sauerkraut with rose petals and will soon start a fermentation for BBQ sauce. I appreciate this knowledge of fermentation and having a company I can rely on to purchase the equipment and ingredients to carry out the process. The recipes are also delicious. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Susan!
You are most welcome!!!
