Fresh homemade sauerkraut is better than any store bought sauerkraut. Especially on the day it is ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:
\n15 pounds, firm white cabbage
\n2\/3 cup salt
\nThree 1 to 2 gallon jars or one 4 – 6 gallon crock<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:
\nTrim cabbage and quarter heads. Remove core and shred cabbage finely into 1\/16th-inch shreds. Mix cabbage with salt. Pack cabbage firmly into container(s) and cover with a clean dry cloth. Put a plate on the cloth and weight it with a wooden cutting board or chopping block piece. Make sure the cloth touches the surface of the packed cabbage so it becomes wet with the cabbage juice.<\/p>\n

As soon as fermentation begins, remove the bubbly fluid on top and put a clean cloth and a wooden board over the cabbage. Wash the wooden board each day. Keep cabbage at a temperature below 60 degrees F. Let stand for a month.<\/p>\n

After 30 days, heat the kraut to 180 degrees F. Pack firmly into sterilized and heated storage jars. Add sauerkraut juice to within 1\/2 inch of the top of the jar. If you run out of juice make a brine of 2 Tablespoons salt to each one quart of water use to top bring to the 1\/2 inch to the top of jar level.<\/p>\n

Seal the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes for pints and 30 minutes for quarts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
