Scrubbed Beets

I should have realized that mixing golden beets and chiogga beets would produce a brownish brine. I probably should have made two batches and separated the beet colors. Here’s hoping it tastes good! I wish I had planned ahead and bought some ginger root, but I think the ground ginger will work out fine.

About 8 cups shredded beets (give or take)
1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded
2 tbsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Combine all ingredients and let sit for 20 minutes or so. Use hands to squish the veggies for a few minutes to release liquid. Pack into jar.

Update 01.14.17 – I’ll probably throw this one away. It looks so unappetizing.
