Before the winter weather is upon us, you may want to use those final heads of cabbage! Try this great recipe for:
Easy Sauerkraut
PACK shredded cabbage (I like to use a mandolin on the finest cutting blade) in clean canning jars. In each jar put in:
1 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
Slowly pour boiling water over to fill jar. Put on canning lids and rings. Put the jars in a cool dark box (I use a black plastic storage bin/lid) for 6 weeks. Mark your calendar for 6 weeks later. Take jars out of bin and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to seal.
When cool, store sealed jars in the dark box so the sauerkraut stays white. It is now ready to use.
