We made some fermented carrots a bit ago and they came out quite well. We followed the instructions from Farmhouse on Boone and added five crushed cloves of garlic. Today, I am trying it with a couple tablespoons of Ball Mixed Pickling Spice. Seems Ball is not producing this spice mix anymore. If it turns out well, I will try this recipe for the mix that I found on Cuisine Mastery to reproduce the mix on my own.
