Fermented Berry Chutney

Method

1. Lightly crush the berries in a bowl — you want some whole, some broken. A potato masher or fork works well.
2. Add the onion, ginger, salt, spices, honey, and whey (if using). Stir to combine.
3. Pack into a pint jar, pressing down until juices rise above the solids. Leave 1 inch of headspace.
4. Weight down and seal loosely.
5. Ferment at room temperature for 2-3 days. Taste at day 2 — it should be tangy, slightly sweet, and warmly spiced.
6. Transfer to the fridge.
