Sauerkraut..

Trying our hands at making Homemade FRESH sauerkraut..

About 9 pounds of shredded cabbage in the basement fermenting... I'm hoping it will be as good as the homemade horseradish..

Her sister grew some "Mega-Head" Cabbage and only wanted the leaves, not the actual cabbage.

Got a 6 pound head of cabbage from her, plus three 2 pound heads out of our garden..

We're not using an "official" fermenting crock, so we hope it works..

What did you use for a "starter" for the fermentation process ? WTH you going to do with 9 pounds of the stuff, can it ? Just curious.

Everything we read sauerkraut doesn't need a starter, the liquid squeezed out of the cabbage with a little sea salt, and time ... Walla, Sauerkraut

That's the recipe I use, 3 tbs. salt per normal head of cabbage.

I love eating sauerkraut; never made it but can remember my g'mother making it in a large crock she kept in the cellar. Thanks for sharing.

Let us know when you make some kimchi!
