Equipment
Quart Mason Jar
Fermenting Weight
Tea Towel
Rubber Band

Ingredients
4 cups under ripe cherry tomatoes
1 sprig fresh parsley
2 stems fresh basil
4 cloves garlic peeled
1/4 teaspoon peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
4 cups unchlorinated water
3 Tablespoons kosher, pickling, or sea salt do not use iodized table salt

Instructions
1. Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds into the bottom of a quart-sized jar,
then layer in the tomatoes, parsley, basil, and garlic.
2. Mix together the water and salt to make a brine, and pour over the tomatoes, making sure to
cover them completely.
3. Use a weight to keep the tomatoes under the brine, and cover the jar with a towel.
4. Put in a cool and dark corner to ferment for 6-8 days.
5. Taste them along the way. When the tomatoes are finished fermenting they will burst with a
champagne like effervescence in your mouth.
. Cover with a lid and store in the fridge. They are best after 1 to 2 weeks.
Notes
These fermented cherry tomatoes will continue to gain effervescence even under
refrigeration. The pressure is not in the jar, but in the tomatoes themselves!
Refrigerate for up to 6 months.
